Social Bookmarking & Tagging

Well I've found this stuff very interesting indeed. I was amazed at the differences I was coming up with searching my topics in del.icio.us and Google.

I have searched for martial arts information on the web in the past and have found some good information but I've also come up with a large amount of irrelevant information as well- a lot of sites selling equipment or schools teaching martial arts, but not necessarily information on martial arts.

Using del.icio.us, I was quite impressed at how accurate the information was that I was getting. I hit on exactly the types of information I was interested in. When I hit upon a particular site that interested me, I looked at the tags and used them to further refine my search or pull up something that I hadn't fully thought of as a term or tag.

I have created an account in del.icio.us and have been actively adding some great content. I've added some tags and I've also added the del.icio.us buttons on my toolbar for quick access. I can certainly see using this on an ongoing basis. I also love that I can view it on any computer, so I can see my bookmarks at my desk and at home or whereever else I am accessing a computer.

I was so excited about del.icio.us and enjoyed the functionality of it, that I went home and showed my husband. He has a small home business where he winds custom made guitar pickups. He has a website and a blog, so I showed him how useful del.icio.us was for his information. He has already set up an account and is actively setting tags on various things. Another web 2.0 recruit!!

I went onto flickr and got lost in the sea of photos. I love photography and could spend many a day just swimming through the photos on flickr. One particular area that I enjoyed looking at was the photos of the Grand Canyon and the Southwest. I love Ansel Adams photography and the landscape of this area. I certainly hope one day to make it to the Grand Canyon to view it in person, but for now I can enjoy the photos in flickr!! Here is link to one picture (sunrise over the grand canyon) that I particularly love.

It's hard to say whether you'll be penalized for say, an article which mentions your service limited liability or their problem in an attempt to find
you. If they get to that results page or are going to be here a while.

You wont regret by hiring google services. The more crowded it is, the less likely you will rank for your search terms.

Even though the number may seem very large, many of these have provided tremendous value to
companies.
