Two Great Sites for Social Networking & Bookmarking for Knowledge in Real Estate

StumbleUpon helps me discover and share great websites.  Using search engines to locate relevant content typically means hunting through pages of results. Rather than searching for quality web sites,  I like StumbleUpon because members are taken directly to web sites matching their personal interests and preferences.

You can also add their toolbar which is integrated with the your browser to allow for one-click access to quality web sites. A simple 2-level rating system gives users the opportunity to pass on or give their opinion on any webpage with a single click. This is also good for connecting people and sharing unique combinations of interests. Stumblers share their favorite web sites and interact with other users to further improve their web surfing experience.


Delicious is a social bookmarking service
that allows users to tag, save, manage and share web pages from a centralized source. With emphasis on the power of the community, This site helps me to discover, remember and share on the Internet.

Instead of having different bookmarks on every computer, Delicious makes it easy to have a single set of bookmarks kept in sync between all of my computers. Even if you're not on a computer I own, I can still get to my bookmarks on the Delicious website.

If your friends use Delicious, you can send them interesting bookmarks that they can check out the next time they log in. Of course, they can do the same for you. As you explore the site and find interesting users, you can use our Subscriptions and Network features to keep track of the Delicious tags and users you find most interesting.

I have used both of these sites for rating, bookmarking and storing great content articles and websites concerning the latest updates for the real estate industry. I would encourage you to try it out, post a free profile and start sharing some of your favorite real estate sites.

Thanks for sharing, StumbleUpon sounds like something I need to check out.  Sometimes if I forget to bookmark a site I want to come back to and then do the same search I did three days ago to find it, I am unable to get back to the site I wanted so maybe StumbleUpon can help with that.
