I won an iPod! I am astounded. It has been quite a while since I’ve won any kind of random thing, like a raffle or such. I want to play with the toy I’ve won.
Mister Wong is a new social bookmarking site that originated in Germany. I received my invite to beta test, I was curious to see how something that started in a different part of the world, worked. It’s also available in Russian and Chinese.
I have found it easy to use and thought it would be useful as an online backup for my ever-expanding and cluttered bookmarks. After uploading them, I deleted a pile that I rarely use, yet couldn’t bear to lose track of since I knew I would need them once I did.
There has been some controversy about the name and stereotype evoked by the use of the name, yet it seems to have been addressed. Mashable wrote a review of the site last month: Mister Wong Launches Social Networking Tools in US, so if you want to learn more about Mister Wong, read it.
In the meantime I’m feeling quite grateful.
