Bookmarking

So what exactly is Delicious?-
===="Delicious is a social bookmarking service that allows you to tag, save, manage and share Web pages all in one place. With emphasis on the power of the community, Delicious greatly improves how people discover, remember and share on the Internet."====

With how much more learning is taking place on the Internet, students will need to be able to manage the information they find there. del.icio.us is just one site that can offer that service to students. What I like most about del.licio.us is that you can access your account and therefor your saved information from anywhere. It's all saved in the cloud so accessibility is only limited if there is no Internet access. I also really like that your bookmarks will slowly organize themselves as you add more and more tags. This is a great tool for me since I am a person whom organization does not come naturally to. You also have the ability to share your bookmarks with others which is perfect for collaboration and then you can also check out bookmarks from others. You could stumble upon some great information just by checking out what others have share on the site. Signing up is free- so check it out today see for yourself just how easy this great tool is!



Diigo: []
====Diigo is another opportunity for you to collect information and store it in the ever-present "cloud". Diigo works with most every device so accessing your information is simpler than ever. What I really like about Diigo is it gives users the ability to make notes on what they read on the web. This could serve as an amazing collaboration tool. Students could all create and save notes on the same pages and be able to share their thoughts with others. Once you add Diigo's browser to you can begin making notes and saving pages to your account. Giving students the power to think about what they are reading no matter what they are reading or where they are reading it is one of the most powerful tools we can offer students who want to become better readers.====



"Remember everything."
====That is a powerful statement! Is there one of us who doesn't struggle to some degree trying to remember all of the things we have to do? Basically, if you can see it or think it then there is probably a way for you to save it to your free Evernote account. Everything you find is already organized for you (another skill I lack completely!) and you can even add tags to make the organization work even more for you!. The search feature on your account makes finding everything easy as well.====



Google Bookmarks []
Is anyone getting the feeling that if there was a "Big Brother" then Google might just take that position? :) I feel like it is literally everywhere! I have used Google for searching every question that comes to mind, collecting my RSS feeds on my reader, reading my emails, chatting on the Internet, finding directions, and now I can save all of the sites I find on the Web into one convenient place. I still think Google could jazz their look up a bit to make it more appealing to the eye but having a one-stop-shop for all your Internet needs is still pretty impressive. I also noticed that Google Bookmarks now has a feature where you can import your Delicious bookmarks and save them to your Google account. I like that the two work together that way.
