Social Bookmarking Made Simple


If any of you readers out there are interested in starting your own blog or writing your own article on children's programming and the effects of television on kids these days, you can use social bookmarking tools that can keep track of all your websites and research you find online! I found a pretty good one called Netvouz that is open to anyone for anything. I really liked this site compared to others because it had a larger range of tags that related to my blog. Netvouz specializes in both popular culture and academic blogs and online jounrals. The creators are so open that they even link to other bookmarking sitesin a specific area. Now, I understand that some of out there might be saying to yourselves, "Wait a minute Dora! How does this site even work?" Well, I thought I would give a few pointers on ways to find what you want.
1. Go to the right side of the site's homepage where it says "Tags"
2. Click on any subject you are interested in
3. Once you hit the main tag it will list websites that can get you the subject you want
4. If it is still too broad, then there are related tags that narrow your search even more!
5. After you have all the subjects you want, look through the website and blog links for what you want!
EXAMPLE!!
Ok let's say I wanted to find an article on the latest popular kid's show, what would I do first?
I would click the main tag Entertainment. Then I would search even further for a sub-tag. Hm...I'm thinking that Television would be the best choice. This way, I now have websites and articles that relate to television shows and television programs. I can usually find what I was originally looking for once I get to a particular site.
Social Bookmarking isn't for everyone, but it is a fantastic and surprisingly simplier way of keeping track of all those websites we aquire on a daily basis. There are so many to choose from but if you are interested in more obscure subject matter like the evolving world of children's programming, then I would suggest strongly considering using Netvouz for all your bookmarking needs. Well, I think my work here is done so as the hosts of the Disney Channel quick news show would say, "The report is in and I'm out!"
