Social Bookmarking Soulmate

Chriscvnv is a health conscientious bookmarketer located on diigo.com. He is interested in exercise and health related activities, such as yoga. Common tags include: exercise, workout, yoga, meditation, wellness, health, how to, and lifehacks. Chriscvnv seems to tag often in a selected amount of time then will stop for a few months, for example he was tagging new sites about once a day in March then abruptly stopped till July. Currently he holds 115 tagged sites. He often tags from the site madcityyoga.com, and tags sites that are related to the benefits of specific types of yoga: bikram, hatha, power, etc. Most tags do not come with any comment, but sites often have more than 1 tag. His organization is divided up into general and specific topics: the tag "exercise" encompasses everything that mentions exercise, then within that group he divides the sites into: "how to," "training," "meditation," and "yoga." Most tags do not have comments, and about 10 have brief comments of short descriptions on the article.

Chriscvn began his relationship with diigo in December of 2007. Almost 2 years ago he seemed to be primarily interested in the types of methods for living a healthy lifestyles that encompasses the physical and psychological realm. Many of these early sites he tagged are entitled: "What is Hatha Yoga," "Explain Bikram Yoga," and "Learning Yoga, Reasons to Get Involved." Which most likely reflects his inexperience in Yoga, or is desire to become more serious about his health or exercise regime. As the months continue he begins tagging sites that are focused on the benefits of yoga, and the different types of teaching methods. This reveals his strong interest in yoga as possibly a career choice.

One site he tages is: http://www.abc-of-yoga.com/beginnersguide/yogabenefits.asp. This site explains the health benefits of yoga from a biological viewpoint. It outlines the ability to decrease CVD, increase immunity, loose weight, regulate respiratory efficiency, and many other improvements from practicing yoga. What I find pertinent to this site is that not only does it encompass the "fou fou" stress relief factors of yoga, but it also breaks it down to the physiological and biological essence of the practice, to obtain an objective and precise understanding of the practice from a logical perspective. This site also has links to other sites with similar health descriptions, and pose breakdowns.

Another site Chriscvnv tagged is: http://www.ehow.com/how_2044401_start-daily-exercise-routine.html. This site was one his first tags, and is an informative site to get started on a exercise plan. It contains step-by-step guides of how to get started, many exercise options, goals, and links. This site has the option to become a member and engage in conversation on how-to topics, such as exercise. This site also touches on other topics, such as gardening, fashion, and technology.

These sites, plus others that Chricvnv has tagged, are resources to bloggers interested in improving their health, in fun and relaxing ways. These sites give an alternate method to the stressful aspect of loosing weight and decreasing health risks, by describing lifestyle choices that are attainable and desirable.
