I Do.

I have been worried about it for so long. Would I ever find my one and only? Would I ever find the one that would make me a better person? The one that could interest me? That could teach me? Well…I have. I have found my social bookmarking soulmate. “Themvf” and I met on the internet one aftenoon. Our romance began when I found out he actually did not enjoy long, romantic walks on the beach, but, rather, he preferred sitting on his ass watching boors, being somewhat proactive about his life. Just kidding…sort of. I don’t know anything about my soulmate other than that he likes sports…which is definitely a good thing in terms of our compatibility.

In all seriousness, Themvf and I met on the social bookmarking website del.icio.us. As a matter of fact, we actually met through a mutual friend. Interestingly enough, this mutual friend actually does not talk. The mutual friend is actually a website. The website through which we connected is the sports culture blogsite, The Sports Culture. Oh, and on a sidenote…I have no idea what Themvf means or stands far…our relationship has not progressed nearly to that level where I feel comfortable asking such a question.

Themvf is much more thorough and into the social networking scene than I am. He consistently comments on the blogs of which he is fan. His comments range from critiques of the content to humorous statements poking fun at an appropriate subject. His “friends” come from a wide variety of genres, although his largest circle of friends is in the world of sports. However, Themvf also has friends in the advertising and pre-law circle. His total number of friends—and by friends I mean bookmarks—are just under 1500! Specifically, he has 1482 bookmarks. Themvf is pretty well immersed in the social networking and web world and therefore is not nearly as active as other bookmarkers. He has not bookmarked since June 22, 2009. Before that, it was a whole another month that he bookmarked, on May 14, 2009.

Organization is a little bit of an issue and something that themvf and I need to discuss before we start talking about moving in together. I am very organized…themvf, eh, not so much. For instance, his most popular tag is simply ‘sportsblog.’ Great. Sports blogs. That narrows it down. I mean, I love all sports, but some nights I just might not want to read a football blog. Maybe I’d like to read a baseball blog. On those nights, I don’t want to have to scroll through 50 blogs until I get to a baseball blog—I’d like to be able to find it way quicker.

Nonethless, ‘Themvf’ does have some hidden gems. For instance, the website Hardcore Sports Radio is one I had never heard of, yet it provides a lot of valuable and interesting information. The talent on this site know what they are talking about and do a good job of conveying their ideas. Thanks to ‘Themvf,’ I have found this site. I also found Gear Up For Sports, a website dedicated to sports blogs. It simply compiles a bunch of sports blogs into one website.

I am really looking forward to spending time with ‘Themvf,’ my social bookmarking soulmate. He is really going to add to my blog and can really serve as a resource to the readers of my blog. The content he tags most frequently is the same content my readers would be most likely to read. I mean, isn’t it clear? Our interests overlap. That’s why we are together. I got to go work on the pre-nuptial…OUT!
