Yahoo is making its showing at something delicious. A bookmark I can find were ever I am. This is not just a bookmark that I can view, but a social bookmark that I can share with others. I can share with benefits. Delicious also allows you to tag your bookmark with other relevant information. You also are able to see the user feed back on the particular bookmark. I am able, like with other applications I have viewed in this class, to share with one another my most valuable bookmarks. You are also able to be specific in your search of others bookmarks.
To talk a little more about navigating through Delicious. There are a few tab arrangements that help with narrowing down the search. Your first tab is the fresh bookmark tab. This tab shows you what is the most recent searches on a particular topic. The next tab is the Hot list. You can probably tell by its name that these are the most bookmarked bookmarks. Try to swallow that last part of the previous sentence. Then you have the explore tag tab. This tab will take you to the most popular tags. This like another reference type material, allows you to save time and in some ways money because some of the leg work has been done for you. All in all this Delicious application taste pretty good. Lets go to the feed.
RSS feed is a way to be fed with the most current information. What a notion to understand. Google reader is a great way to be fed your desired information. Subscribe to the feed and watch it work. Google reader gives all your subscribers to the left and bold means new information you can view. The number tells you how many you haven't viewed. It is nice to save time when time is valuable to allow a free service be your legs. I will, when I have time incorporate this new find.
Now for the library thing it looks like a great program for those who read books. I do read, they just tend to be technical books and my Bible. But, as far as other books I do not read. For those who do it allows you to have a reading list and you are able to share books you read. You are able to comment and read other comments. Read on, you avid readers and I hope one day I can dive deeper into that subject.
When will you find time to save time? :-)
ReplyDeleteWhile you might not read, what about your students?
Anyway, fine job on covering these sites (well, Delicious anyway - and I'll let you slide through for the others). :-)
