The more I go on learning new things about the web, the more I get scared :PWell, we all know how huge is the net…scary!
We all know how huge is the blogosphere…twice as scary!
Now we can make them smaller…at our fingertips…SUPER-SCARY!
What about creating your own 'little' world wide web?
I’m talking about bookmarks, or better, Internet bookmarks.
They work just like real paper bookmarks we commonly use while reading books; therefore, we use them to find what we need easily.
When you frequently visit a website or blog you can save their URLs in order to be easily retrieved. You can do it on your pc or you can subscribe in a social bookmarking community, such as Del.icio.us and store your bookmarks in the personal page you’ve created. Being a social community you can share your bookmarks with the other people in the community. Also, you can create your network of users and see their bookmarks.
Social bookmarking communities are better than your pc, since you can visit your bookmarks from any computer, while if you save bookmarks only in your pc you can retrieve them just from it.
What's more, to make the search of bookmarks easier anyone usually put tags, that is to say, key words to label the URLs stored (i.e. if you type ‘language’ in the community toolbar, will appear all the shared bookmarks with the tag ‘language’).
I think it's a really good tool to keep track of our favourite websites, without searching for their URLs all the time, or without writing them down on a piece of paper that you may lose!
Well, I think it’s all…
Let's enjoy with this new tool!
