Thing 4 - Social Bookmarking

While I am intrigued with the concept of 'Social Bookmarking' - and more than ready to jump in - I was also put off when I learned I would need to join/open a yahoo account.  I already have 3 email accounts - one of them the gmail account I opened to join blogger.  Does google have a social bookmarking site?  I guess I need to check it out - unless I hear back first from someone who knows!

I especially enjoyed browsing through the Regions Library Delicious account and finding Lifehackers among other great sites.  I can certainly see how social bookmarking sites would be beneficial, both personally and proffessionally.  I choose to do Thing 4 because I had never heard of this concept and wanted to find out what it is about.  With each 'Thing' I feel I am catching up a bit more!  I probably spent a total of 2 hours on this thing - it was very interrupted so is hard to estimate.  OK - I'm off to research other social bookmarking sites!

  1. We are glad you like our social bookmarking site. And no, Google, oddly enough, does not have a social bookmarking tool. Life hacker IS an amazing site. We look forward to reading about your next thing!

  2. I love this course! It's filling in so many 'holes' in my tech understanding and answered my oft asked "Where did this all come from and when?" We lived out of the country from 2003 to 2007 and this was the wrong time to be 'out of the tech loop'. Have talked it up to all of my colleagues. Many are interested in enrolling the next time around. Thanks for this opportunity!
