Introduction

In a nutshell, this is how SocialAdr works

You earn credits by Sharing other members' bookmarks. "Sharing" means you click a single button and the bookmark is submitted to ALL the social bookmarking services you have setup. The amount of credits you earn depends on your account type. A minimum of 8 credits is needed before your own bookmarks can be "Shared" by other members. The most effective way to earn credits quickly is to setup as many social bookmarking service accounts as possible. 1 credit is deducted from your account every time one of your bookmarks is "Shared" by another member and submitted to a social bookmarking service.

Important - Members with a Lazy account don't need to worry about Sharing. All they do is Add their own bookmarks and then sit back and relax.

Social Accounts

Setup Wizard

The Setup Wizard gives you step-by-step instructions on setting up your social bookmarking accounts, Sharing other members' bookmarks, and adding your own bookmarks.

There's even a handy-dandy checklist so you can stop half-way through and return later where you left off.

It's by far the easiest way to get started using SocialAdr!

Edit Accounts

Now, you can enter all your account information into SocialAdr.

The top part of the form is used to add new accounts. The bottom part of the form is used to edit existing accounts.

If you mark an account to be Deleted it is gone permanently unless you add it back yourself.

If you mark an account to be Disabled it simply won't be used when you share bookmarks, but you can always enable it again whenever you'd like.

Bookmarks

Share Queue

The next thing you'll want to do once your accounts are setup is to Share other members' bookmarks.

You earn Creds (credits) every time a bookmark you Share is successfully submitted to a social bookmarking service. These Creds are required before you can even add your own bookmarks into the system.

First, browse the Share Queue and find a bookmarked page that you like and would feel comfortable promoting / publishing to your social bookmarking accounts.

Click the Share button. The bookmark will be submitted for being processed and will disappear from your Share Queue. The time it takes to process the shared bookmark depends on how many other bookmarks are waiting ahead of yours.

Continue to Share as many bookmarks as you'd like.

The icon is used to remove a bookmark from your Share Queue that you prefer not to share for whatever reason.The icon is used to report a bookmark that you feel has violated the SocialAdr standards. Once a bookmark receives a certain number of violation votes, it is disabled.

Get bookmarklet

The bookmarklet is used as a shortcut to bookmark your own web pages. Follow the instructions to have it appear in a convenient location on your browser's links bar.

Add Bookmark

Or if you'd prefer, you can manually add bookmarks by filling in this simple form.

My Bookmarks

Here's where you can see all of your own bookmarks.

You can delete , pause or start each of your bookmarks. When paused they won't be visible to other users and cannot be Shared.

If you click on a bookmark's title, you're taken to a page where you can view its description and tags, and even Edit it, if you so desire.

Bookmark Archive

Depending on your account type, each of your bookmarks can only be shared a specific number of times. Once this limit is reached your bookmark will be automatically Archived. This is where you can view all of your Archived bookmarks.

History

Statistics

This is where you can view data related to your bookmarks and sharing activity.

If you're into numbers it's fun to see the powerful effect of the SocialAdr community, as the numbers grow much more quickly than if you were only submitting your own bookmarks.

Shared Bookmarks

On this page you can see all the bookmarks that you've ever shared, including details such as:

* When the sharing occured
* Which user's bookmark it was
* The bookmark title and a link to visit it
* What services were successful
* When services failed and the reasons why

My Bookmarks

Here you can see the share history of your own bookmarks, including details such as:

* When the sharing occured
* Which user shared your bookmark
* What services were successful, along with a hyperlink for each service to view the bookmark live on the site it was submitted to.

Friends

Friends

By default, every user automatically has Kane as a friend - similar to "Tom" from MySpace ;).

You can see who your friends are, see who is friends with you, and even create collections of friends.

Members

Members

Here you can search through all the SocialAdr members, see which ones are the most popular or active.

If you click on a member's icon you should see this arrow which will display a menu that can be used to add the user as a friend or send them a message.

Groups

Groups

Groups can be used for anything you'd like. If you have a specific topic you want to discuss with other like-minded members, just create a group and start inviting your friends.
