			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>StumbleUpon functions as a web browser plug-in. It provides an avenue for users to discover and rate several <a title="Web Templates" href="http://template-oscommerce.com/">web pages</a>, videos, and updated news articles and more on various fields.  Web pages are presented when the “Stumbler” hit the “Stumble!” tab on the browser&#8217;s toolbar.  &#8220;Stumbler&#8221; is a term coined to call ‘users’.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Stumbler&#8221; predetermines the web pages to be shown next.  This is based on the previous webpage being rated by the user’s friend. It also employs a recommendation system.  This system is typically used in social networking principles.</p>
<p>A one-clock blog is installed with this. Such toolbars have their own versions in major search engines. Examples would be Mozilla Application Suite, Firefox, and the Internet Explorer.</p>
<p>StumbleUpon has many advantages.  It includes a direct rerouting to specific websites.  These websites should match the personal preference of users. Search engines consume time doing this.  It makes it less convenient for users.</p>
<p>StumbleUpon shows only particular web sites.  These sites have been recommended by other &#8220;Stumblers&#8221;. The user is provided with a high quality web site every time the &#8216;Stumble&#8217; tab is clicked.  Web surfers of similar interests suggested these collective opinions.</p>
<p>StumbleUpon provides almost 500 topics or keywords.  Surfers may choose to point out their interests and preferences.  These allow Stumble to generate the most significant and closely related content. Since the Toolbar recognizes what the user wants, StumbleUpon undoubtedly conveys the most relevant content.</p>
<p>Information on the Internet has been proven to change constantly. StumbleUpon is now a dynamic approach. It is established to keep track of the unending flow of knowledge and information. It carefully filters through the countless amount of information found on the web.</p>
<p>StumbleUpon routes &#8220;Stumblers&#8221; to high quality web sites.  It links them to their personal interests. Sites of poor quality are eradicated once ratings have gone too low.  <a title="OsCommerce Forum" href="http://oscommerce-site-directory.com/index.php?c=4">Community</a> members who constantly input in these sites help uphold a database with chief quality standards.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Social bookmarking is the hippest way to share your bookmarks.  Your aim is to categorize them properly.  Users will realize the benefits of using this tool.</p>
<p>This tool will make information sharing easy.  This will also be convenient for users who need this approach.  It allows your favorite bookmarks accessible and available.  You can access these thru a device you can connect to an internet anywhere.</p>
<p>Tagging is the key feature for Social Bookmarking 101.  It enables easy recovery and propagation of information.  Tags are made accessible whenever and wherever.  Tags are not similar to folders.</p>
<p>There are no restrictions on the number of bookmarks.  It makes the Web more interesting and convenient for everyone.  The <a title="RSS Feed Plugin" href="http://conceptlaboratory.com/oscommerce_rss_glue.php?osCsid=1b35007ffc8250434ae6a2149818d950">RSS feed spawned</a> by a tag is the tool utilized.  The tag is from the social bookmarking tool.</p>
<p>You will find each of the feed in the Fade RSS Feed Directory.  This will provide an easy route.  You can share any topic based on the links you&#8217;ve collected.</p>
<p>Blinklist and Shadows have a wider range of uses.  It includes importing of bookmarks and presentation of related links.  It also rates the quality of bookmarks.</p>
<p>They block all the information you want to remain private.  They suggest tags from various links you&#8217;ve used before.  They generate RSS Feeds.  They provide an add-on to your browser. Lastly, they allow you to use some widgets when using other sites.</p>
<p>Del.icio.us allows you to import bookmarks. It displays recent bookmarks.  It also presents other related/directory links.  Users are not permitted to rate the quality of the bookmarked site.  It only allows the user to put a mark on things the user regards as private.</p>
<p>Del.icio.us recalls and suggests tags from a separate list you&#8217;ve used.  It uses widgets for other sites.  It endows with a browser add-on.</p>
<p>The site is marked as one of the most popular existing social bookmarking sites.  It appears minimalist.  But it understates its purpose as a tool to generate incoming links to your sites.</p>
<p>The user will use Furl to import bookmarks and display current links.  It not only bookmarks the page but archives it also.</p>
<p>Ma.gnolia has features useful for group use. It also possesses the similar features mentioned in other bookmarked sites.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Social Bookmarking is just like the way you book mark your favorite website with the use of your browser. You use social bookmarking services of web companies to store a catalogue of your favorite websites. You bookmark certain sites to easily access it whenever you need to go to that particular site. By posting your bookmark on the sites, you allow other users and individuals with the same interest to browse, connect and comment on your bookmark. This creates a powerful platform. They can usually view the links by category, tags, topics, or random searches.</p>
<p>One of the main advantages of social bookmarking is that it would be easier for users to find topics and resources they need or pique their interests. Because the bookmarks are done by users themselves, most bookmarked sites usually mean more useful sites wherein the topics are based on the content and how they understand it. On the contrary, this is unlike a computer generated one that the tags can be confusing.</p>
<p>Due to its popularity, many users are now using it as a means to make their websites more visible. They use this along with search engine optimization to draw more traffic to their sites. Most users just want to draw other users to their blog sites. But before submitting your site to a bookmarking site, here are some of the things you should know:</p>
<p>1.    You should pay attention to your headline or tags. It should be catchy and attractive to user’s. It is best to write short and meaningful descriptions of your headline. It should be truthful or factual since most users can detect a false statement. Do not use statements that are more like advertorial descriptions. Your descriptions should be short and easy to read.</p>
<p>2.    Content will still be the key to your websites success. It is the one that will draw people again and again to your site and might create a snowball effect on other users. As a courtesy, please check your spelling and grammar when you write the articles, as well as to check your facts. Although diversity is encouraged, it is still best to use English as the language of your content. Part of the content is what topic you choose. You must remember that not all topics are popular and choosing a topic is also a key ingredient of your content.</p>
<p>3.    You should know when to submit since your time at the front page of the site would be limited. Timing your submission is everything.</p>
<p>4.    Be sure to submit your site in the right category. This is the most common mistake that users commit. You should take time by browsing through all the categories just to make sure.</p>
<p>5.    Be friendly and cooperative with all users of the bookmarking services. You might need their vote for your sites. It is unwise to do it alone since this is a social site. The more votes you get, the higher the chances of you being featured at the front page of the site.</p>
