Aggregating web content is a need that may be more strongly felt by… you’re right… people who create web content or read it. You don’t write a blog and you never let comments on your friend’s or colleague’s blogs, you don’t bookmark your favorite web sites using del.icio.us and you think that RSS feeds are those dangerous animal nutrition products responsibe for the spreadth of bird flu? Don’t worry, Ziki’s (also) made for you!

Let me explain in three examples why Ziki can be useful for you, “web rookie”!

1) You are currently working in a company or looking for a job?
There are people out there, sometimes called head hunters, whose job it is to find precisely defined profiles on the labor market in order to make them a job proposal. If you don’t use Internet very often, they do. Because, if you want or not, Internet is getting the quickest, cheapest and most reliable method to obtain information about someone. Recruiters spend most of their time behind their computer screens in order to find what they are looking for.
On your Ziki you can use tags and the free search engine registration tool, to become visible for them. You don’t need to create web content to be on Ziki, just use it as a resume of your professional career.

2) You want to meet people who share your interests?
On Ziki you can make your private and professional interests visible through tags and the web links that you want to share. For instance, if you are the president of your village’s fly fishing association or expert in nuclear physics, show it on your Ziki by creating the appropriate tags in the “Descriptive keywords” section or by adding links to your favorite sites related to you interests and expertises.
Ziki will automatically identify those people who share your interests and show them up as “Similar Zikis”. You can visite their Ziki profiles by that way and, who knows, get in contact with people you already know or you’d like to know.

3) You are sending emails?
You are regularly using your professional and private email, I guess. Maybe you’ve even created an electronic signature for the emails you send. What about adding another line to this signature giving access to your public Ziki profile. Create a profile on Ziki and add the link “my.ziki.com/your_username” at the end of your signature. You will enable your contacts to get more information about you and your activities and interests. This feature can turn the usually rather distant email exchange into a more personal one and, thus, be extremely helpful.

Some other examples of using your Ziki could have been listed. We are trying hard to make Ziki useful for everyone and keeping it simple and accessible at the same time.
