Researching with Social Bookmarking
March 19, 2007
Social bookmarking allows you to quickly and easily bookmark sites you are visiting to an Internet-based set of your favorites. This means you can access your favorites from any computer. Even better, social bookmarking allows you to access favorites from other users. Most social bookmarking sites also provide RSS feeds that allow you to stay up to date with new websites that are being added to the list. So why is this important?
The combination of socially bookmarked sites and an RSS feed to keep you updated create a powerful social research network. Want to help a physics teacher find new resources? Subscribe to the
feed for the "physics" tag on Del.icio.us. Students researching the Civil War? There's a
tag for that as well! From
caclulus to
APEnglish, there are tags for many different subjects on Del.icio.us. You can use the
Del.icio.us search page to get started, or you can just try adding a tag to the end of the URL as so:
http://del.icio.us/tag/apenglish.
