who get the best information?

I had my computer broken last winter break while I went back home.  I lost 5 years of works including powerpoint files and photos.  I was kinda obsessed with powerpoints and photos because I did a lot of works with corporations(like a project and sometimes intern) and taking pics was my big hobby.  Seriously, I yelled at my young brother(it wasn't his fault, it was because of the guy from the computer fixing office that he did the stupid things--he cleaned up the whole HDD)  and eventually cried...  I lost all the portfolios... after I entered the university.  I felt like I was nothing without that.  But I calmed down myself thinking 'it is the past, I can even be more creative without past works.'   And there wasn't the way to revive them.  I told myself 'ok, fine.  There is no way I can do now, so forget about it!' I felt better after that.
(even still I don't want to remind me of that awful event, it is ten times worse than the combination of losing all the phone number after you graduates, kicking out of the facebook account, losing de.licio.us and LinkedIn account, and losing a $10000.  


HOWEVER, all of sudden, I thought of the star, which presented the favorites (websites).  My home desktop's OS is windows, so yellow star sign means the Favorites.  I almost cried that I realized that I lost all the websites and blogs I marked.  Can you imagine that? I was so pissed that I really wanted to kill the computer fixing guy.  (He saved his life from not meeting me at home).   


Bookmarking someone's blog is the shortcut to get good information.  Too many data are out there.  It takes more time to find what you exactly want.  Although every portal sites have been tried to develop the better search engine, it is now perfect yet.  So when you find a good blogger with the same interest like you.  You are saving tons of money because time is money.  Especially the blogger did a good job, then you don't even worry about getting new info.  That blogger is going to keep you updated.  After that, when you find another one, the pleasure and results double.


Social bookmarking/social news/tagging/etc seem all about the better/best information in the data web where you can't see the end.  Exploring Internet means wasting you time.  I better find string(website) so that you can be pulled(get good info).  what would be the other purpose of the whole work of social bookmarking?   Anything better. Yea. that's it.  There is too much useless information now.  


But, bookmarking might produce useless information.  For instance, badly tagged or bookmarked pages can mislead the data search; those kind of thing could be even worse that just one datum.  It is because not every blogger is smart and careful.  Social bookmarking has let the Internet surfer get what they want.  But also, it could mislead them to the wrong place.
