Social Bookmarking

Today we learned about Social Bookmarking.  Social Bookmarking is the act of saving a webpage (just like regular bookmarking) but you can access your bookmarks from anywhere because they are on the internet!  For instance, if you were researching a topic for English at home, you could save your bookmarks to a social bookmarking site and continue working on  your project at school during your free time.  Plus, social bookmarking would also come in handy if your computer crashed -- if you saved your bookmarks to a website instead of your computer, you would still have all of them!  The really cool thing about Social Bookmarking is tagging.  Once you add a bookmark, you can tag key words that will help you remember what the bookmark was about later on. 
Some popular social bookmarking sites are:

I have started my own social bookmarking page to keep track of the many different scholarships that I can apply for as a senior.  It is so much easier to just have them all in one place then having to worry about only working on my home computer.
