It seems that I have been reviewing a lot of Social Networking sites lately. This one has really taken my fancy. It is called Searchles, a combination of social bookmarking and networking technology with social search capability.

Signing up is free and you’ll get your own bookmark site that you can share, find various topical groups to suit your liking (or create one) and find friends with the same interests too.

Saving the Searchles link as a bookmark on your browser toolbar allows you to save bookmarks with ease and refer back to them later. It has great personalizing and filtering features to include tags and keywords, i.e. you are able to search just about anything with ease. I would go as far as to say that Searchles gives me all the capability of Del.icio.us with the chance to grow my network base and look for relevant articles that others have favored too.

In addition to their great looking user based search platform, they have an easily installed widget (for your blog/ website). This ensures that the visitors who are reading your article do not leave but allow them to interact further on your site by starting discussions, bookmarking the article within their own Searchles account and share/ email it to friends. Another big advantage of this widget lies in the way the comments and tags are pushed back to the Searchles engine automatically, shared with others and in turn helping your site reach a wider audience.

There is intriguing factor about Searchles that differentiates it from the rest out there. I love its simple usability and customizable features that are within easy reach and seem to be in the right place. This creates a feeling that I am in control of my search experience with smooth flowing efficiency.

One of its tag line is “It’s contagious!” I couldn’t agree more.
