My Five Best Social Bookmarking Sites
Posted by Jimm Fowler in Technology on July 17th, 2009
Social bookmarking is a method for Internet users to store, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web pages on the Internet with the help of metadata, typically in the form of tags that collectively and/or collaboratively become a folksonomy.
Folksonomy is also called social tagging, “the process by which many users add metadata in the form of keywords to shared content”.
In a social bookmarking system, users save links to web pages that they want to remember and/or share. These bookmarks are usually public, and can be saved privately, shared only with specified people or groups, shared only inside certain networks, or another combination of public and private domains. The allowed people can usually view these bookmarks chronologically, by category or tags, or via a search engine.
So how can this help your blog or web site? Social Bookmarks help to spread the news that is on your site. It can be in the form of a blog, an article or even a press release. Here are a list of five social bookmarks that we like to use:

Best Free Software for Your PC Computer
Posted by Jimm in Technology on May 25th, 2009
Everybody likes something free, but no one wants something they don’t need. These are programs you can’t live without. No matter what you do on your computer, you can use these programs.
1. Mozilla products (Web Browser and Email software): I am putting this into an umbrella because I can go on and on about the usefulness of Mozilla’s products. Firefox is their free web browser that is (a) safer than Internet Explorer and is easier to use. Viruses don’t hit this browser as badly as IE and installing it is s0 easy an 80 year old can do it. Along with Firefox, make sure you install their email client, Thunderbird, as well.
2. Open Office (Office Suite software) : This is the MS Office of the common folk. With Open Office, you can save your files as a Word Document, build an xls spreadsheet, put up a powerpoint presentation or build an “access” database. Also, what is another great feature is that you can save all of these into a PDF file for easy email. I highly recommend this program to anyone and everyone.
3. ClamWin (anti-virus software): Who wants those pesky viruses or malware bombarding your computer? The problem is, coughing up your money to Norton or PC-cillian every year. Keep your money with this free anti-virus software. ClamWin provides up-to-date computer protection for free!
4. Eraser (Data Deletion): Are you worried about protecting your data after your computer has worn out its usefulness? Do you fear that someone is going to find that super-secret hidden bank file or password collection that you so cleverly hid? Never fear, here is Eraser! This is the same software utility the government uses to wipe out hard drives when they are afraid the press might find out something important!
5. Gimp (Graphic manipulation software): You always hear about people “photoshopping” an image, but then you go to look at the price tag and realize how can they afford it? While Photoshop is expensive, you can get your graphics fix with Gimp – an open source graphics software that is easy-to-use and allows the casual user to do so much more with their images and creations.
