Social Bookmarking
Did you know that there are over 15 billion web pages?
There is an easy way to group in a single list thousands of sites that have a common basis
First step
REGISTRATION
- Account is free
- You'll see an easy way to add a couple of buttons to your browser ("tags" and "my del.icio.us")
Second step
TAGS YOUR FAVORITE SITES
- Add keywords or tags that describe the site
When you save a page, two things happen
FIRST
- The site is saved with all your other bookmarks on delicious.com
- The tags are saved in a list of all your tags
After 2 months you have a hundred bookmarked sites
SECOND
- With a click on the tag that you want, one hundred sites become three
- You can enter all the tags you want to
Third step
SHARING
Delicious bookmarks are public
Imagine you're a teacher
You assign bookmark sites to algebra, and colleagues see the interesting sites you found. Then begin to assign their bookmarks and since they are all public, everyone discovers new and useful material
Together you create a network that produces a steady stream of interesting and useful websites
The social bookmarking sites take a world of chaos and make it orderly
Our teacher will use the tags in her blog to order the published multimedia material
