There are at least a dozen different social bookmarking services out
there. Like Kamaraju, I prefer Google's implementation because it's
simple and integrates well with my search history. But I also use
del.icio.us sometimes, mainly because it has achieved "critical mass"
and thus can be an excellent place to find relevant links, even better
than searching Google for some topics. If you're a Firefox user,
del.icio.us has pretty good extensions too. But I mostly use a simple
bookmarklet, because I mostly don't use Firefox/Iceweasel anymore.
Have a look around, you might find something you like better than
GBookmarks.
As for the privacy concerns, I have pretty much put my faith in Google.
Google knows all about me. Google is Borg. I have been assimilated.
