Forum 1 Social Bookmarking
This is the first time that I’ve heard about Social Bookmarking. It is hard to make a decision as everyone appears to be very useful to share information in the web. I will decide to use Blinklistas the social bookmarking. The URL address is http://www.blinklist.com/mhornmandiola/ I think social bookmarking is a great creation to share information with the internet community. In addition, it can improve personal organization skills dramatically. My “favorite” had become a mess, just to find the information takes me a while, if I find the folder where I saved the site. This computer is new and I will give it a good start with bookmarking sites being well organized. I see myself using social bookmarking to research and collaborate with peers and the families I work on information regarding rehabilitation and Child’s development. Also other information that I am always investigating is on the latest nutritional facts and research as well as healthy life issues. This social bookmarking can refine information for more serious sites. My choice for Blinklist was first by using the H3rald review as reference, which indicates an overall rating of 8, considered the winner among the other social bookmarking it reviews. It states that is a relative fast speed site, enough for me, and offers more features. I think this is important as technology is my weakness, so more I get familiar with social bookmarking and it's features the best. I will want to learn how to use bookmarking with simplicity as well. Then I went to the web's site quicktour which describes the features easily and gives many tags suggestions and it helps to organize well the website. This site indicates that even though it takes a while to get used to it, (which is my norm in technology anyway) but it states that is not confusing like other bookmarking sites. The review states that BlinkList is not very popular, in comparison to other bookmarking , and I hope by now is reaching better to the Web 2.0 community. This is important because I will like using this social bookmarking to research among more people that come to the site and then I can use the information in collaboration with the families and colleagues I work and this is fascinating for me. The choice was hard as there are so many to choose from. I will start by this one first and then perhaps experiment with del.icio.us, portaportal, Ma.gnolia bookmark.
