Bookmarking

Bookmarking is a very useful and well used feature for organising web links within a web browser. This is usually a personal feature for a single user on a single computer or login, the sites mentioned here turn bookmarking into a collaborative process that allows for the sharing of that information through any computer anywhere in the world. By storing bookmarks online they are not lost if your own computer experiences technical issues.


 * Delicious** is a social bookmarking site that allows groups such as a faculty, grade level or whole school to collate and store collections of bookmarks for student use. In this example all members of the Science faculty have the sign in details and can save or edit appropriate course related sites which are tagged according to class. Any students can view the bookmarks which can be sorted by tag, date or alphabetically. Delicious may not be the most feature rich site of this type but its simplicity of use gets my top rating. It also has the ability to create a network with other delicious users.



For this session a site has been created named **HDICWT**. Sign in and add a bookmark with some explanatory text.

This is **my Delicious site** which contains links to many web 2 and other sites relating to technology and education.


 * Other Bookmarking sites**


 * Diigo** would be the other best known social bookmarking site.


 * 10 Alternatives to Delicious.com Bookmarking** - late in 2010 it was feared that Yahoo may discontinue Delicious. It was later sold by Yahoo and it's future now looks sound.
