MIXX…the perfect combo!!!

Ever wondered how it feels, to become Aladdin someday and to have your own Genie to fulfill all your demands. It feels great…I know. But what you need to know is that this dream has finally come true for you, but only if you are an internet savvy. No, the web does not give you free genies (as if they exist!) but they definitely give you a substitute- Mixx. It does everything that an internet savvy could ever ask for. This one is a social media website that combines everything from social bookmarking, social networking, web syndication, blogging and even personalized tools.

But before using these, you need to know what exactly each of these terms mean.

Social media- it means using electronic, specifically internet tools to share human experiences, discussing and sharing information using audio, video, images etc.

Social bookmarking- allows you to bookmark your favorite webpages and websites and even gives you the facility to share them with your friends online.

Social networking- it basically means to find out people who share similar interests and liking. Also, gives you the chance to interact with them or simply become friends with them.

Web syndication- it means making website material or any kind of web information available to the public and that too, sometimes, in a summarized form. Example- RSS feeds.

Blogging- A blog is kind of a website usually maintained by an individual. Mixx gives you the facility to maintain your own blog i.e. your homepage of the Mixx website in whichever you want it.

Personalized tools- it means molding the basic tools or rather customizing them to suit the user’s needs or to simply their tasks and functions.

Now that the meaning of all these terms are clear, here’s how Mixx gives you all these features and many more, to help your internet browsing and the tasks related to it, a lot more easy. This can be better understood by listing down the features of Mixx.

•    Mixx allows you to add those topics and links to your Mixx page that are your all time favorites. All you have to do is to submit the link by entering its URL. You can also add a category or topic to this page.

•    ‘Search’ is the most sought after feature of Mixx. Just enter the keywords and get going. You can even navigate through different categories and switch between images, audios and videos at your own convenience or can simply search through the most popular items. And last but not the least, localize your search through zip codes.

•    You can vote, comment, reward (or kudos), form your own private groups and add new friends to them as well. Typical social networking.

Though this site was launched only recently in 2007 in Virginia, it’s breaking all conventional norms. If this site is just right for you, then you must say a little prayer for its CEO and founder Chris McGill and his team. Today, Mixx is a proud partner of a number of other services such as USA Today, Reuters etc. Lets make it even more proud by becoming a part of it ourselves!
