How Trailfire can help you find what you're looking for...

A bit more in depth of how Trailfire actually helps you, or "helps you find the needle in the haystack". All over the web you'll see dozens of marks (a single online sticky note), which usually turn out to be trails (multiple online sticky notes linked together).

You can then follow these trails and discover what other people have worked hard to discover before you. So instead of clicking on every Google search result you get for your particular topic, you get a collection of links that you already know will be useful to your research, project, curiosity, etc. You find one useful Google search result (by useful I mean that somebody bothered to "mark" that page with Trailfire) and from then on you follow the trail to wherever it takes you, and beyond!

Firefox says:

"Trailfire.com is also a unique social discovery engine and might be the right place to start when you are looking for something on the web. Use it to find other people’s trails. Browse the hot trails or look in categories of interest. You’ll see why trails are better than pages of search results because a real person put them together."
