Last year the revolution has begun and now comes to completion. The folkd GAMMA release boosts social web into a new dimension and combines the best aspects of web 2.0 services like Digg.com, del.icio.us, youtube and stumbleupon into one massive solution. Get a hold of the greatest web content in form of bookmarks, news, audio, video and blogs directly from the folkd.com homepage or via the browser extension for Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer (6 and 7).
Bastian Karweg, founder and leading developer of folkd.com said: “Our update is dedicated to all the inspiration and requests from our users. With this help we were able to boost community aspects and usability to a new level.”
A motto says: “E PLURIBUS UNUM” (From many, one) and therefore within folkd users manage their favorite websites, report about the latest news, audio- and video content, comments or extensive blog entries, while these can be saved for public viewing. The folkd.com users decide which content becomes popular or not, by ranking sites or actually using them. With the self-explanatory buttons a convenient usage of features is possible and often with just one click.
With the innovative Ajax programming technology a new range of browser compatibility and flexibility could be achieved and therefore folkd becomes a permanent feature of the daily surfing process, right after installation. Improved communication features with online status and live chat offer the possibility to spread the word about great sites much faster and at a higher range.
Democratic group dynamics can be so easy: The new group features allow the community to make decisions about the quality of web content and allow it to be shown in public.
The download of the browser extension and use of folkd.com is completely free of charge. You are invited to test the web site and plug-in at http://www.folkd.com
