Oneview…there is nothing complex about it.
Oneview is yet another social bookmarking website. What’s new in this one? Simply nothing. What new features does this site have? None. What new things does this social bookmarking site have to offer to its users? Not even a single one. Still, Oneview has a collection of more than five million bookmarks. Still, this site is simply loved by its users.
The simple reason behind its popularity is that it is one of the oldest social bookmarking websites. In fact, this can be considered as the oldest. It was launched in 1998 by the multi-media agency Denkwerk and is bi-lingual i.e. is in English and in German. Oneview is said to have brought to us the current Social Bookmarking. It remains to be the pioneer for social bookmarking and various different kinds of search offers.
The key features
Oneview is primarily a social bookmarking service. Thus, it does everything that a usual social bookmarking website is supposed to do.
It serves as an online memory you. You can store and save any kind of information from the world wide web. This information can be in various forms such as a webpage, website, blog, blog post, link, image, picture, audios or videos. Your bookmarks are saved online and thus, you can easily access them with any computer that has an internet connection.
Oneview also lets you organize your tags and bookmarks in such a way that it becomes easy for you to search for one particular tag, whenever you want to. The ability to search for a particular bookmark is also a very significant feature of any social bookmarking website. With Oneview you can easily search for a bookmark so that you can find the required information quickly. The tag line or the punch line of Oneview is ‘human powered search’. Thus, as it can be understood, when we search for a particular bookmark, the information that is presented before you is humanly filtered.
Oneview helps you peek through other people’s bookmarks as well. And if you like any of those, then you can simply add them to your own collection. Through this, you can also find out who are the people who share similar interests just as yours and if you want you can even add them to your list of friends and be in touch with them. You can also start building up your own networks (like for schools, colleges, workplace etc.)
As per your wish and need you can make your collection of bookmarks either public or private. Also, you can do central copy of the saved items (if you fear that they would be removed from the internet).
Oneview did update itself in 2005, but the fact that its older version was still available in the market till 2007 proves how much its users love it. Oneview has got no complexities whatsoever and runs purely on the basis of trust and good work. If this view managed to attract you even a bit, then may be Oneview is all that you need.
