Playericious is defined by its programmers as “a little app that plays bookmarks as a movie”. That is a quite accurate definition in itself: you supply a keyword or tag, and then the available links are shown and played page-by-page as a slideshow. The result is very, very compelling as the pages stay for long enough to truly whet your appetite, and for you to form a more realized first opinion than the one you get from just reading a string of text.
Playericious was created because the team behind it consider social bookmarking services as the future of search directories, and they wanted to make a contribution of their own to the scene, taking the concept at the heart of their best-loved services (Delicious and Magnolia) one step further.
I think that this approach definitely pays off, and I would not be surprised to see similar sites come along. For the time being, you can reach this one by following the link that is provided below and see if you also find it compelling. At any rate, you must admit it is a remarkable step forward.
“Delicious and Magnolia have an unbelievable resource of information of human classified quality resources. It is a giant listing of sites that people have thought were worth saving, categoriezed by tag and updated with the freshest sites. Social Bookmarking is the future of search directories. So to show my love for delicious and magnolia, Dan and I created Player.icio.us. Player.icio.us is basically a little app that plays bookmarks like a movie. Type in a tag word and it will “play” for you the most popular sites for that tag. We even extended it to include user names so if you want to see what your friends or fav internet celeb is up to, type in their delicious or magnolia user name and check out their latest saves.”
It brings the concept of social bookmarking one step beyond.
When is the next major update coming along?
