Have you ever tried to look up one of your favorites and only to remember it’s on another computer? This puts your bookmarks in the “cloud” so it is available from anywhere, from any computer. It also allows you to share your bookmarks with others and search for key words to look at what others sites people think are important.
Diggo- (Short for Digest of Internet Information, Groups and Other Stuff.) Diigo is a social bookmarking site that can help you bookmark your favorite sites and give you a platform to share those sites with others. A favorite feature of Diigo is that it allows you to highlight or sticky note a part of the web page you book mark and that stays for the next time you want that specific information.
Delicious is another social bookmarking tool that is very popular. It doesn’t have some of the features like highlighting and sticky notes, but it does have the sharing aspect. The video below has a great explanation of what social bookmarking is.
