Social Bookmarking

Diigo.com

What is social bookmarking? It is a fairly new concept in Internetbookmarking that allows you to not only bookmark important sites for yourself, but

to share your bookmarks and find out who is bookmarking sites for areas that may

interest you.

In this assignment, I will have you visit 8 different sites, bookmark, tag, and complete

a task for each. . .but first lets get your account started and discuss Diigo!

Before you begin the assignment, you can watch some videos about the

concept of how one would use this type of site

While there are many ways one can use social bookmarking, we are simplygoing to use diigo.com to begin the concept of social bookmarking and to

complete eight specific tasks.
