oddDuck.com is the latest addition to the world of social networking and media. Like traditional social bookmarking sites, oddDuck allows users to post, share, and save their favorite websites, videos and places on the web. But oddDuck is different in that it has been designed to make sharing and promoting sites easy.
"The basic premise to oddDuck is that it is a place where you can go to post and share your sites with your friends without being bombarded by sites that you aren't interested in," commented the site's founder, Mark Vuk. "Other sites offer similar functionality, but they are so open ended that it makes finding new sites difficult. OddDuck takes a different approach by providing users categories that they can search as well as tags that are predefined. When you add a site, you can choose the appropriate categories and add a description to tell others what the site is about."
The premise is catching on. Even though oddDuck is new to the arena of social networking, it is quickly becoming a popular destination for those who want to share their videos, interesting sites and blogs with others. Once a site is posted, others can provide comments, add the site to their favorites, and even add the submitter to their list circle so that they can quickly cater oddDuck to show them sites that they will be interested in.
"The site is intuitive and interesting, I think that is why so many people are using it," commented Vuk. "The sites that you get to see are catered to your interests so the more you use it, the more it shows you stuff that you will enjoy. Most people hear about a new site from someone they know, but our service expands that because you don't have to know someone to add them to your circle, you just have to like the stuff they post. We call it anti social bookmarking because a lot of people have been burned by sites where they have to create a profile that tells others who they are. Then their employer or someone else sees what they've done and there are consequences. We don't do that at oddDuck, nobody will know who you are and you get the benefits of still being able to find new people and sites on the web."
