» Information and resources about Blasta, collaborative
bookmarks with an Irish manner.
</p>
<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.
</p>
<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Corporate search engines are archaic and outdated, and often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,
and its <a href="/help/about/folksonomy">folksonomical</a>
nature 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).
</p>
<h4>Blasta source code</h4>
<p>
The source code of Blasta is available under the terms of
the license <a href="/license/agpl-3.0.txt">AGPL-3.0</a> at
<a href="https://git.xmpp-it.net/sch/Blasta">
git.xmpp-it.net</a>.
</p>
<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.
</p>
<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.
</p>
<h4>Conclusion</h4>
<p>
Blasta is for you to enjoy, excite, instigate, investigate,
learn and research.
</p>
<p>We hope you would have productive outcomes with Blasta.</p>
