Social bookmarking – what is it and why use it? It’s a way for internet users to store, organise, share and search bookmarks of web pages. The advantage of using a social bookmarking site is that your bookmarks, or favourites, are accessible from any computer with access to the internet. You can see what sites your friends and colleagues are bookmarking and share your links with them.
Social bookmarking is a great tool for groups. Simply create a group account and store all the links that are useful to the group’s work in one place, accessible by the whole group.
I’ve created an account for the LGAQ at http://del.icio.us/LGAQLibrary where I’ve listed all sorts of websites, reports and newsletters that you might find interesting or useful.
Some of the most popular social bookmarking sites are:
Del.icio.us http://del.icio.us/
Digg http://digg.com
Furl http://www.furl.net/
Go check them out. I’m sure you’ll love the idea and that you’ll be digging and furling deliciously!
thanks for the post!
