One great aspect of social bookmarking tools like delicious is it’s ability to bring people with similar interests together. For example, if I have found someone who also booked marked my favorite web page, I could then look into their bookmarks and most likely find something else we both like as well. This could be extremely useful for research as well as generic web surfing.

1400, is the number of book marks filmgeek has in his library, and 10 is the number of categories those bookmarks are under. They are organized into tags and each tag could contain anywhere from 1 to 100+ bookmarks. I find this kind of organization extremely efficient as I had no trouble finding out whether he does or does not have the topic I was looking for among all those tags.

Another great thing about this particular collection is that most of the bookmarks have comments on them. This is handy when there is lots of information to be viewed. One will be able to have an idea of what the book mark is about before deciding to click on the link. Let’s be honest, some of the website names are so out there just by looking at it is definitely not sufficient in deciding it’s value. I also want to add the fact that he or she is very clear with the comments as it is helpful most of the times in describing what they site is about.

There are few general categories that are of interest to me.

Mac

Of course there is a Mac section. The tags range from aperture and apple, to OSX and widgets. I must admitting is could get a bit overwhelming sometimes. For example there are 92 book marks under OSX. However I do agree with his or her general taste in websites. Taste as in usefulness of the web pages or simply being mildly entertaining.  

Entertainment

Under this category there are things such as beer, book, books, cool, metafilter etc. and under cool I found websites such as Jeff Russell’s STARSHIP DIMENSIONS or MonsterHoodies.com – So cute it’s scary. In general they are a diverse group of contents from a range of websites.

Media

This is the section that I could recommend to some of my readers for several reasons. First of all, it contains tags such as HD, HDTV, HDV etc. they are all very popular at the same time confusing terms that one will eventually encounter in the field of filmmaking. Second of all, there are things such as Tivo, screenwriting, podcasts, which are useful resources for many people.

There is a huge section on selfimprovement. However I wouldn’t go into it in details since it is not relevant to my blog. However it does offer a variety of utilities that one might find useful. There are 186 bookmarks related to reference, 94 related to 94 and 1 related to seduction which I am sure some of you might get curious about.

Technology

In this section, it contains so much stuff that I can only pick out those that are related to my bold. There are 35mm, 50mm, camera, dvd-decrypter, graphics, software, etc. I think the theory goes that if there are this many option, there must be something useful somewhere in there.

Video Film Tech

This I suppose is a special category devoted to the film crowd. There are cinema, cinematography, codec, movies, videos, AVID and a range of things that are both directly and indirectly related to film. They are definitely helpful for someone within the industry.

The last category is called unbundles tags, which is 100+ tags that are not particularly related to the main focus of the bookmarker but none the less hip and useful. I found a pretty cool winery link somewhere in there.

This particular bookmaker could be a valuable resource for my readers in several ways. First, it provide information about film, movies as well as what is going on in the industry. Second of all, which is what I consider equally important, is it provides important technical information that one is sure to need if not now, but in the immediate future. There is simply a proliferation of new video technology that it is impossible for one to master without outside help. This book mark collection is a great source for what is going on in the technological front and what one needs to be aware to stay ahead of the ever changing techi world.
