Third posting, in this article I cover miscellaneous tools, some may obviously apply others maybe not. As always, I have the completelist categorized here.
I will keep that sheet updated as I make changes, delete sites I'm not planning to review, etc. I'll try to have a link to the site on each blog post I write related to this subject.
More tools that can help you in this Social Media Jungle...
http://www.stumpedia.com/ - Stumpedia
Taken from the site "Stumpedia is a personalized social & real-time collaborative discovery tool that relies on human participation to index, organize, and review the world wide web. Stumpedia does not depend on automated bots, proprietary algorithms, or company insiders to make decisions on the relevance and ranking of search results. Stumpedia allows you to submit, rank, and personalize your own search results. The relevance of search results are unique to you and are determined by your social graph in the following order: you, your social network friends, friends-of-friends, your followers, and the overall community. A spammer who submits and ranks irrelevant results can be easily identified, blocked, and unfollowed to prevent your search results from being polluted. Users can personalize and customize search results by re-ranking, deleting, adding, and commenting on search results. This data is used to determine the relevancy of search results for the people in your social graph and vice versa. We enable users around the world to share their knowledge and interests with one another and provide an alternative to traditional search. Users are encouraged to create custom content pages for any possible search term in the world and submit links that will help people find relevant results and answers to their search requests. Links to social bookmarks, social profiles, blogs, new stories, authoriative articles, videos, images, and web pages are welcomed."
I don't see how this applies to either a Job search or increasing SEO (so a recruiter can find you). If you have an idea, please let me know in the comments
http://www.symbaloo.com/ - Symbaloo
Interesting resource. They call themselves a 'Start Page' (start pages are common) and offer a tiled screen that you can customize. Add any site you like by adding or editing tiles. Some tiles start a "widget" in the middle of the page that offers more information. For example, the Twitter tile would let you read tweets from the center widget. Add & customize multiple tabs, this could let you organize even farther. Build tabs to represent subjects, research and all related tiles could be one tab, etc. If you do a LOT of web-surfing, this could be very helpful.
http://transferr.com/ - Transferr
Just like Symbaloo only with a different visual approach. As always, I suggest playing around with different resources before you choose what works best for you. I noticed that Transferr will let you add a some document types as an icon.
http://www.worio.com/ - Worio
Taken from the site "There is an abundance of interesting stuff being shared and commented upon everyday on sites like Twitter, Digg, Delicious, and Facebook and throughout the blogosophere. Worio's mission is to make web search fun again by bringing you a personalized view of the social web alongside your boring old search results."
Like a search engine (Yahoo, Bing, Google) but different. Plug in available for Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari & Firefox browsers. Appears to offer a Social Media influence to your search results.
http://www.epernicus.com/ - epernicus
Taken from the website "Epernicus is a Boston-area company (Harvard and MIT roots) founded in 2008 by four passionate entrepreneurs with medical and software backgrounds. Our customers are world-class companies and non-profits doing cutting-edge medical research (Genzyme, the Broad Institute, GSK and Brigham and Women's Hospital, to name a few...). Our products will positively impact healthcare for hundreds of millions of people."
Are you a scientist? Interested in medical research? You should probably join Epernicus. Looks like an excellent resource to network with your peers, study ongoing research and possibly offer you input.
http://qapacity.com/ - Qapacity
Thinking about building a website? Qapacity is an option. Pricing plans from free to 19.25€/month. Free option offers 5 pages, 16 images, 1 GB of storage and 500GB of bandwidth. The free plan sounds reasonable for someone thinking about building a webpage for themselves. Remember there are other services and a quick Google search will help you find them. Look at your options and choose what best fits your needs.
That concludes the "other" section. I think I will look at Bookmarking Sites next. There are over 80 of them so it may take me some time.
Please leave feedback in the comments. Have you used any of these tools? Planning to use them? Would love to hear your input.
