folkd.com is a community powered social webservice that has the goal to "enrich your web-surfing experience".

What does it do?

The idea is to aggregate recommendations, tags (keywords), audio records, comments or just "more information" which exists within knowledge of the people (the folks!) and connect it to particular webpages or topics. You and other folkd users will use this additional information while surfing to discover the web faster and find things you’d probably have missed otherwise.

How does it work?

We recommend to use the folkd browser extension: The sidebar directly displays related content and interaction like the "folk it" button to push a site’s reputation (rank). You can also keep track of your or your friends’ folkd pages within the sidebar. To improve the search for a certain item, add a description or tags (keywords) by clicking the "save it" button.

Folkd Features

  • video support - Enjoy the most popular videos of youtube, myspace, google video, metacafe, sevenload, and many more. No need to check out each of them every day.
  • live-chat and online status - See if your friends are online and start a live-chat to recommend interesting items or just talk about the things that are important to you.
  • increased functionality and easier to use - With the self-explanatory buttons a convenient usage of features is possible and often with just one click!
  • stability and speed improvements - With the innovative Ajax programming technology a new range of browser compatibility and flexibility could be achieved, so the GAMMA release is more stable and faster than ever!

Folkd Beta Features

- folkd.com browser extension - Right next to the page you are surfing, folkd sidebar serves related content and interactive functionalities like branding, adding tags, notes and audio or recommending the page to your friends or groups.

- audio - the web is to be heard - Record, link or upload your audio to enrich websites, blogs or articles. Browse and listen to various podcasts, readings, comments and shows from other folkd users.

- search engine with "reputation" rank - The folkd search engine crawls only pages that are actually surfed and used by the people. The ranking of a result is determined by its "reputation". Reputation is calculated by measuring who is using, tagging or folking up the content (and the way he does).

- action tagging - Already tried to use tagging to insert commands like in a unix shell? With folkd, you can use tags to send items to users or groups, distinguish different contenttypes, structure content, grant access and of course, simply attach a meaning!

- folkd is international - Ever noticed that most web 2.0 or social web services are English only - within their interface but also within the content shared. folkd is trying to be more social and integrate all countries and languages.
