Social Bookmarking.....

I have a great deal of favorite websites saved in Internet Explorer. I find myself at work ... and I want to look at something on my lunch hour.... but that bookmark is on my home computer!!! ERRR... and I don't remember where I saw that great website on Creating Blog Entries that pop.

Does this ever happen to you?? I have solved this problem with the help of technology!!

Social bookmarks. There are a few websites that let you keep bookmarks with tags in your own account to recall anytime you want. I'm no longer tied down to a computer specific favorites list. There are many social bookmarking websites out there, here are three good ones:

http://Del.icio.us is a yahoo based company where you create an account and then start adding your bookmarks or "tags"...your bookmarks are shared with other people and you can search others with similar insterests.

www.google.com has a social bookmark within their personal homepage setup...The thing I like about Google's is that you can create your own homepage with your RSS feeds and so much more. You can't really search others bookmarks so its more private.

www.simpy.com is another social bookmark tool that works similarly to google with a personalized homepage...you can search other bookmarks though.
