Let me preface this profile with the fact that there are not too many people who are writing extensively on my topic of, fast food society and health, with the type of balance that I am looking for, both humorous and educational. This is the same balance that I am trying to attain within my own blog and is the same type of balance that I would like to find with my bookmarking soulmate. Although as males, which I am, we are taught always to go for the best, most attractive looking girl or in this case the best soulmate bookmarking match. I of course am not able to find the soulmate that is so stunning that I instantly know that they are the one, so I must settle. Caseyhovsepian, Casey for short, is definitely not the worst looking girl at the party, but would not be the first one that I would want to go home with either.
The delicious user is definitely trying to push their agenda, which has something to do with the blog title Slow Fast Food (which you are able to check out yourself). This comes across very apparent when looking at the amount of tagging that is done and what specific tags are used. The article selection is very wide reaching and touches on many different topics that are very relevant to the topic that I am blogging about. But time and again Casey only uses three distinct tags: Antioxidants, F&N and Slow Food. This is what leads me to believe that they really are pushing the exposure of Slow Food. They really want that name and blog to get out there.
Some more basic stats include, Casey having a good amount of bookmarks with twenty one. This leads me to believe that Casey is also relatively new to the delicious website. They provide a great framework of institutional studies as well as opinion pieces of fast food and eating trends in general. Those bookmarks that he himself has added to his profile are also highly bookmarked as well. They are greatly followed by many other people, which only reaffirms the fact that he definitely has a great idea of what type of information is out there. Casey also doesn’t over indulge on the tagging of relevant pages; he usually tags on a weekly basis. This is both good as well as bad. My bookmarking soulmate is not going to be an rss feed type of person. At the same time, when Casey does make a new bookmark, I know that he has done the research behind that particular blog, so it is definitely not a waste of time to check out.
The best part about Casey’s bookmark page is how he has organized the tags of the different sites that he is currently following. I do not feel as though I need to read into each site in order to catch the jist of what that site in particular is trying to put together. This is what led me to two great blogs discussing relevant topics of what I am writing on. The first one is the “11 Best Foods You Aren’t Eating”, this gives a very concise and interesting look into common foods that are maybe not considered to be great healthy meals. This is also the first part of the balance, humorous and interesting, that I would like to achieve in my blog. Sites like “Food Insight: Your Nutrition and Food Safety Resource” are the second part of the balance, factual and educational. This site is great about educating specific eating trends to follow as well as avoid. And brings the concrete base to all of the topics I will be discussing in my blog.
My bookmarking soulmate is not that bad and I should probably appreciate them a little bit more than what I let on at the initial introduction. Although they are selfishly trying to push their personal agenda, which a lot of people try and do in this type of a relationship, they are also providing the care and need to really get me started. I should be more appreciative and a little less demanding.
