Walk2Web is a new web exploration tool that starts you out with a preview of the starting site with its outbound links. From there, you can explore the web visually by “walking” from one link to the next as Walk2Web builds a network of links on your screen. Walk2Web shows the site at your current position in the main preview window, which offers tools to vote the site up or down, to set a public or private bookmark, and to post tags and comments about the site. Registration is free and allows you to use personalized features.

In addition to the main preview, smaller preview windows pop up as you mouse over other links on the screen. You can scroll the screen, either by moving the mouse to the edge of the viewing area, or by using the scrolling arrows. You are not restricted to the path you selected; you can click on any other link on the screen and restart your journey from there.

On Walk2Web’s home page, you can request live help, access the Walk2Web surfer’s blog, and build widgets for your blog or website, such as this button that launches Walk2Web with your site as the preview starting point.

Try it and see!

Those of us who enjoy social networking through bookmarking sites such as Digg, del.icio.us, and Newsvine are familiar with those little shortcut buttons, chicklets, and quicklinks that allow us to submit, vote for, and comment on our favorite web articles quickly and relatively easily.

But what if we’re reading an article with no shortcuts? Yes, we could still bookmark these the “old-fashioned” way (sign on to the various social bookmarking sites, and post the information using the url…sigh…yawn…)

OR we could take advantage of our browsers’ “links” button. Newsvine has posted a 10-second demo on how to do this with its Seed-the-vine service. It works exactly the same way with Socializer 2.0, which allows you to bookmark to multiple sites from a single page with its “Socialize this” link (Don’t forget to check out the “Create a Short Socializer Link” feature, which saves time when posting to multiple sites by providing a short url and pre-formatted post title!).

It takes a couple of minutes to set up the links initially, but for active social networkers, these little buttons will save a lot of time over the long run. All you need to do when you are on a page you want to bookmark or submit for promotion is click on the link!

You know that long list of little icons at the bottom of some blog posts? They usually represent Digg, del.icio.us, reddit, Technorati, slashdot, and other social bookmarking sites. Socializer 2.0 simplifies that process. Socializer is free, by eKstreme.com webmaster tools and tutorials.

Socializer 2.0 provides several different convenient ways for surfers and webmasters to use the service.

One thing that’s missing is a usable button. Maybe they’ll have one soon.

This article in Time Magazine looks at the folks who actually provide, comment on, or edit the content that drives the social web.

One important observation is the small proportion of users who upload or edit content on social news websites, as opposed to those who merely visit and view the sites. Pareto’s famous 80-20 law doesn’t apply to the social web; the proportion of users who contribute content is far smaller.
