Use Diigo to find info about martial arts movies

There are many websites out there referred to as "social bookmarking" websites. Essentially, these are great ways to save interesting or funny websites to go back to later, show your friends, or view other people's saved websites, thus making for a great time wasting alternative to facebook and youtube, especially when at work! What really differentiates social bookmarking websites from simply adding a website to your favorites on your browser is the potential to save these bookmarks online and view them from any computer, as well as viewing the bookmarks of other people which may potentially be interesting to you.

There are many websites out there that perform this service, with slight differences. Some like Digg.com allow you to rate the newest bookmarks posted by others, whereas furl.net allows you to save bookmarks to a free online cache, so that even if the links become inactive or move, you will always be able to retrieve that information.

For the purposes of finding new websites about martial arts cinema, I have found that two similar sites, diigo and del.icio.us are very useful. For both of these websites, registration is not necessary, and one can instantly search for terms such as kung fu, martial arts, hong kong film, etc. and come up with websites others on the internet have found interesting. The way that you can search for various websites is through the tagging process; when bookmarking a site, it is possible to tag that bookmark as whatever you want, and when people search for those words in diigo or del.icio.us, your bookmark will come up as a result. A quick search on del.icio.us shows that the tag "martialarts" has 8,608 and "kungfu" has 4,251. What's great about these websites is that they are ones that may be hard to come by simply by a google search, but which someone out there nonetheless found interesting.

Registering with these sites is optional, and anyone can instantly look up bookmarks made by other users. However registering and creating a profile with diigo and del.icio.us enables you to not only save bookmarks of your own and contribute to this wonderful community of internet treasure seekers, but to save those bookmarks of other people an access them at any time. I would recommend checking these social bookmarking websites out in your spare time. You may come across a website new to you, which would never have happened unless you stalked someone else's diigo profile.
