Independent Beings

Most social bookmarking software needs a human hand to manage them. They need someone to say what and when do the things. But some don’t. There are in a certain way independent. They are able to gauge, within the limits of their codes how to react when confronted to a specific situation. They are automated social bookmarking software. They are the independent beings of the social bookmarking software universe. All they need to function is a command and an objective. Once these two things have been defined, they can basically do the entire job by themselves. Some may find it difficult to believe but still these programs are very useful and don’t make many mistakes when handling a request.

Flawless?

Of course there are no such things as intelligent software. The programs respond within the limit of the code that has been implemented in their source. The situation they encounter needs to be programmed or else the program doesn’t know how to react and require assistance from the admin. He does that either by sending a mail or a direct request through a more instantaneous way. The programs ...
... are not flawless. In fact they are full of flaws. But they get the job done anyway.

Alternative To The Humans?

Is there or will there be a program that can replace humans in doing this task? So far the automated social bookmarking software has showed nothing of the sort. All the programs need to be managed frequently. A human hand is a requirement for a software to work. The fact that all software still needs management is something very understandable. There is no way for automated social bookmarking software to replace a real human managed bookmarking service. The number of variants is just too much and at the top of it there is no way someone would invest in developing A.I for those programs.

But Automated?

But they are called automated social bookmarking software? And indeed they are. The auto part in their functioning is that they handle tasks given to them in an automatic way. No more need to wait for hours while checking websites one by one to do some good bookmarking. There is no more need to answer every message individually to make a good campaign. The software does all that with a simple click. It is a software to relieve you from time consuming tasks and then allow to do more productive things with your time. But then there may still be some mistakes in the whole process. So the best way to have a really good campaign is to always have humans involved. Do the job yourself, hire a team. Anything but with humans brain and hands in it.

There is no way for automated social bookmarking software to replace a real human managed bookmarking service.Some are now wondering if it is really wise to invest in a cheap social bookmarking service.
