Computer and Web Articles

Last week we reviewed a basic definition of social bookmarking. Now that the information has had a bit of time to sink in, I’d like to share a few additional resources that might help you feel more comfortable with the concept and, perhaps, even encourage you to get involved with it yourself.

First, here’s a fantastic 3 minute video that gives a visual, plain English explanation of social bookmarking: http://tinyurl.com/28qhop.

Next, here’s a handy PDF you can print out and read next time you’re standing in line somewhere and want to expand your knowledge on the basics of social bookmarking: http://tinyurl.com/6ouzpr.

And lastly, here’s a starting point where you can try out social bookmarking for yourself: http://delicious.com. Delicious is one of the main social bookmarking sites on the web, and it’s totally free. I’d recommend first taking a super quick peek at the site’s About page upon which you’ll find a short list of the three main things you can do with Delicious. Then, when you’re ready to dive in, just click the green “Join Now” box in the upper right hand corner of the site to get started.

Have fun!
