I can definitely say that I’m a fan of the concept. I’m sure I’m not the first one to notice the potential, especially in monetizing such a framework. I mean, where else are you going to find the Hello Kitty Assault Rifle? (something my wife has been eying, so I’ll be sure to bring her chocolate everyday) [...] […] For instance, thisnext, which is a social shopmarking site where a community of avid shoppers bookmark deals, steals, gifts, clothes, beauty products, shoes, and unique…stuff from all around the web, is just that kind of site.

Firefox users have to drag two bookmarklet butons on their toolbar while Internet Explorer users have to install the Blue Dot toolbar. Then, as you browse through the web and come across a site you want to share with your network, simply click the “Dot This!” button and a new box will appear at the top right of the site. This box allows you to fill in basic information about the site, which also includes pre-fetched descriptions and images selected by Blue Dot. All you usually have to do is just fill in a few tags and optionally select an image to assign with your bookmark. Even assigning an image to your dot is simple because, similar to Kaboodle, Blue Dot will grab all images on the site you are saving to your network and allow you to simply select one of them to associate the dot with. Now, if for some reason you don’t want to use Blue Dot’s tool or you are away from your computing, you may still easily dot any website by using their “Dot From Anywhere” section that is just a basic form on their site allowing you to manually add a site to your network.
