You won't find me on friendster or facebook but today I staked my claim on a little digital space I have found useful. The site
bluedot.us is now on my tool bar and I believe will remain there for some time. Connecting with like minded folks is a daunting task that seems much easier on BlueDot.
Copied from thier website:
Founded
in late 2004, Blue Dot, Inc. is a company dedicated to the creation of
personalized and collaborative digital experiences powered by your social
networks. We have created entirely new technologies which assist you in the
collaboration and the sharing of digital information. We provide intensely
personalized views of community webspace and we think
we do that better than anyone else out there. We hope you agree.
The
core of our technology is based on the simple premise that contributing to the
experiences of your network should be as simple as clicking a button. This
action creates a bundle of data we call a Dotsm. Behind the
scenes, we use smart algorithms and software intelligence to contextualize
these Dotssm, enrich them and monitor them for activity or changes
in status. While this is a simple concept, it is enormously powerful when you
view the results.
While
we give you a number of ways to find, discover, customize and collaborate on
Dots with others, your level of involvement as a user is entirely up to you.
Blue Dot technology is people-powered. It will change your
day-to-day interactions with the people around you if you let it.
