<h3>About Blasta</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Blasta is a collaborative bookmarks manager for organizing
|
|
|
|
|
online content. It allows you to add links to your personal
|
|
|
|
|
collection of links, to categorize them with keywords, and
|
|
|
|
|
to share your collection not only among your own software,
|
|
|
|
|
devices and machines, but also with others.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Once you are connected to the service, you add a simple
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="/help/utilities#buttons">bookmarklet</a> to your
|
|
|
|
|
browser. When you find a page of your interest, you can
|
|
|
|
|
use the Blasta bookmarklet, and enter information about the
|
|
|
|
|
given page. You can add descriptive terms, group similar
|
|
|
|
|
links together and add notes for yourself or for others.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
You can access your list of links from any browser. Your
|
|
|
|
|
links are shown to you with those you have added most
|
|
|
|
|
recently at the top. In addition to viewing by date, you can
|
|
|
|
|
also view all links with a specific keyword you define, or
|
|
|
|
|
search your links for potential keywords.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
What makes Blasta a collaborative system is its ability to
|
|
|
|
|
display to you the links that other people have collected,
|
|
|
|
|
as well as showing you who else has bookmarked a specific
|
|
|
|
|
link. You can also view the links collected by others, and
|
|
|
|
|
subscribe to the links of people whose lists you deem to be
|
|
|
|
|
interesting.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Blasta does not limit you to save links of certain types;
|
|
|
|
|
you can save links of types adc, dweb, ed2k, feed, ftp,
|
|
|
|
|
gemini, geo, gopher, http, ipfs, irc, magnet, mailto,
|
|
|
|
|
monero, mms, news, sip, udp, xmpp and any scheme and type
|
|
|
|
|
that you desire.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
<h4>Why Blasta?</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Corporate search engines are archaic and outdated, and often
|
|
|
|
|
prioritize their own interests, leading to censorship and
|
|
|
|
|
distortion of important and vital information. This results
|
|
|
|
|
in unproductive and low-quality search outcomes.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
With the collaborative indexing system which Blasta offers,
|
|
|
|
|
you can be rest assured that you will find the references
|
|
|
|
|
and resources that you need in order to be productive and
|
|
|
|
|
get that you need.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<h4>The things that you can do with Blasta are endless</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Blasta is an open-ended indexing system, and, as such, it
|
|
|
|
|
provides a versatile platform with which you have the
|
|
|
|
|
ability to tailor its usage according to your desired
|
|
|
|
|
preferences. <a href="/help/about/ideas">Learn more</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<h4>The difference from other services</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Unlike some so called "social" bookmarking systems, Blasta
|
|
|
|
|
does not own your information; your bookmarks are
|
|
|
|
|
categorically owned and controlled by you; your bookmarks
|
|
|
|
|
are stored as <a href="/help/about/xmpp/pubsub">PubSub</a>
|
|
|
|
|
items within your own XMPP account; <u>you are the soveriegn
|
|
|
|
|
of your information</u>, and it is always under your
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="/help/about/philosophy#control">control</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
This means, that if Blasta be offline tomorrow, your
|
|
|
|
|
personal bookmarks, private and public, remain intact inside
|
|
|
|
|
your personal XMPP account under PubSub node
|
|
|
|
|
<code>urn:xmpp:bibliography:0</code>.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<h4>Information that is stored by Blasta</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
In order for Blasta to facilitate sharing of information and
|
|
|
|
|
accessibility to information, Blasta aggregates your own
|
|
|
|
|
public bookmarks and the public bookmarks of other people,
|
|
|
|
|
in order to create a database of its own, with which Blasta
|
|
|
|
|
manages and rates references to build recommendations and
|
|
|
|
|
gather statistics of resources that are both valid and
|
|
|
|
|
bookmarked more often than other resources.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Blasta does not store links of bookmarks that are marked by
|
|
|
|
|
all of their owners as private and no one else has stored
|
|
|
|
|
them in a public fashion (i.e. not classified private).
|
|
|

<h4>Blasta source code</h4>

<h4>Our motives</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
We are adopting the attitude towards life and towards death,
|
|
|
|
|
which was implicit in the old Vikings' and in Schopenhauer's
|
|
|
|
|
statements: <a href="/help/questions#perspective">
|
|
|
|
|
Living for the sake of eternity</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
Living with eternity always in mind, instead of living only
|
|
|
|
|
for the moment.
|
|
|
|
|
The attitude that the individual is not an in and of
|
|
|
|
|
himself, but lives for and through something greater, in
|
|
|
|
|
particular for and through his racial community, which is
|
|
|
|
|
eternal.

<h4>About us</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Blasta was proudly made in the Republic of Ireland, by a
|
|
|
|
|
group of bible loving, religious, and stylish Irish men, who
|
|
|
|
|
have met each other, for the first time, at the Irish Red
|
|
|
|
|
Head Convention, and who dearly enjoy tea, and who love
|
|
|
|
|
their wives, children and their ancestors.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
It is important to mention that we have met Mr. Schimon
|
|
|
|
|
Zachary, at the consequent Irish Red Head Convention of the
|
|
|
|
|
proceeding year, and he was the one who has initiated the
|
|
|
|
|
idea of XMPP PubSub bookmarks.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
<h4>Conclusion</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Blasta is for you to enjoy, excite, instigate, investigate,
|
|
|
|
|
learn and research.
