My Soul Mate...

My Soul Mate…

After much searching I finally found the one, my social book marking soul mate. My soul mate goes by the username soccercarly83. She does not have many websites bookmarked but I found what she has bookmarked to be very relevant to my topic and area of interest. To give you an exact number of how many websites she has bookmarked is no problem, for it is a mere six. From her sites that she has bookmarked I can guess that she is interested in sports; specifically gender differences among male and female athletes, such as differences in coverage between men and women.

Because her bookmarking is rather limited, she also does not provide many tags. However, I did find her tags to quite helpful and relevant to my searching. Soccercarly84’s most commons tags were women and sport for which she both had four. Considering that my topic is female athletes I felt the sites in which she had marked were similar to my search for information.

Selecting Soccercarly84 as my soul mate was a fairly easy decision. When looking for my soul mate I wanted to find another individual who was interested in solely female athletes. The search was rather difficult because often I would find people who were just interested in small portions of my topic along with a great deal of other things. When I came upon soccercarly84 I almost decided to overlook her bookmarks and tags and find someone because she had few sites bookmarked. However, when I looked closely at her tags I noticed that the majority of her websites that she bookmarked related to issues that females athletes commonly face. Her tags were undoubtedly useful in helping me recognize how useful her bookmarked sites could potentially be to me.
I found most of her bookmarked sites to be helpful and also some those helped me discover certain topics and issues which female athletes face that I had not touched upon myself. Two of the websites she bookmarked focus on media coverage within women’s sports an issue that I did not think to write about or look into until I looked at her bookmarks.

For me selecting Soccercarly84 as a soul mate was a simple decision, it really came down to quality over quantity.
