My Bookmarking Hero!

I have found the best bookmark soul mate ever. His Del.icio.us user name is rickangelo. He has 600 bookmark items, and he’s a pretty frequent bookmarker.
His tags are pretty simple. He uses very general tags next to specific tags, i.e. filmmaking distribution or filmmaking music free or software freeware free. However, there are some tags that are undecipherable, such as the tag ts. It is probably an acronym for something, but for what, I do not know.
Just from reading his tags, I am able to deduct a lot about this person. I would say he’s male and he’s young, mid 20s to early 30s. He is a forum junkie, with the top tag belonging to forum with 125 entries. I can safely say he’s a computer and web specialist, working in I.T. His second largest tag is for programming. He’s also probably an actor on the side, with the third largest tag belonging to acting. He plays the guitar (36 tags) and he’s looking forward to becoming an entrepreneur. He also has a lot of tags for Los Angeles, and I’m going to take a wild guess and deduct he lives in LA.
Here are some resources I found through rickangelo, which I consider very useful for me and my blog.
Mindomo – a web based brainstorming, mindmapping software that’s free. Awesome.
Neulio – A website in beta that shows how-to videos on a variety of topics such as how to take a good photo, and video capture techniques.
Ehow – another how-to website.
Grouptivity – a “free social marketing tool” with several ways of boosting traffic to your site.
Screencastcentral – a tutorial library of many how-to’s on improving your computer abilities. Unfortunately, you have to pay for membership.
Filmmakers.com and filmstew.com, two websites devoted everything film related.
QuickOnlineTips – Tips….online….that are quick!
Successforyourblog – How to make a succesful blog!
mybloglog – A Yahoo service that makes you look up other blogs and bookmarks. I was actually able to find RickAngelo’s profile, and he’s actually older than I thought. Man, stalking is sooo easy with the web these days.
But the online gem that I found was an article on the the San Fernando Valley, considered the center of the adult entertainment industry, here. It’s a great article and a great read broken down into parts and interviews. An interesting fact I found out was that one of the most expensive (but one of the highest grossing) adult films ever made, Pirates, was directed by a USC alum. To be honest, I’m not surprised

I like this post! I think you found a good bookmarking soul mate. I wish I had found him because I definitely didn’t get anyone amazing and had to use someone from France. (Which is fine but….whatever) anyway, back to you. Good job!
