Social Bookmarking

I have been enjoy the social bookmarking sites as I have been able to find many great sites through there. However, the problem is that there are so many websites that it is hard to go through it all. In addition to the fact that at times the tags are incorrect for the website and does not always show up while searching for information.

My favorite site to save bookmarks when I do not want to permanently bookmark in my Favorites/Bookmarks through my Firefox browser.

So far I have run into:


http://del.icio.us/
I have managed to turn a lot of my friends to this site. So many of us out there have gotten so used to bookmarking through our web browser and at times need to access the internet through other means such as the library then alas do not have access to our bookmarks. So this site allows you to access bookmarks that you have added to the site through your personal account anywhere you are.

This is social bookmarking for use with books. I love this site, they have groups that you can join of all different genres. If you can't find a group that suites your needs then you can easily create one. I have found many great resources through this site.

Search and share your bookmarks with others.

This is one of my favorite social bookmarking sites.
They even have a toolbar that you can download to your browser window.
It will allow you to add links to your favorites, see what your friends have
bookmarked and share bookmarks.

Share about books you have read, and find books that others have read.

I bet you can tell that I am into reading.

Bestest and Coolest Websites Around!

I do a pethora of research and I am always running into cool sites that are so great or Firefox extensions that are very useful. I do notice at times there is a great extension but there are no comments from others about it, so here is where I come in.

This blog is mostly for me to keep all of my cool sites in one place besides my bookmarks which are of course organized however there are some sites that I cannot think of the best folders to put them in. Also it would be great to have a little explanation of what the tool is all about as it is easy to forget.

So I do hope that you find this blog as helpful as I do, and please feel free to leave a donation as soon I get that button up here.

Please do enjoy!
