Learning Entry Blog- Social Bookmarking


Social bookmarking is a great tool that allows many people to collaborate on bookmarking important websites. These bookmarks can be organized with tags and given descriptions so anyone can see what will be found at a certain site. The tags help in the organization process by linking all the same tags together so it can be seen how many sites have the same tags. Social bookmarking allows the users to access the bookmarks from any computer, unlike traditional bookmarking it can only be seen on the computer that bookmarked it.

Social bookmarking can be advantages to the sport business/ management fields because you can share your web finds with people on the same event project as you to find ideas a resources. This tool eliminates the need to email the sites found to each person, you can just add them to the account and share with your colleagues. The tagging can also help people who may not be working on the same project to possibly find sites that may relate to their specific project or event by looking and finding tags that may relate.

Very similar to a popular social bookmarking tool Delicious, Diigo is a tool that has bookmarking capabilities but many other advantageous tools too. You can research, share, and collaborate. It allows you to bookmark and leave sticky notes about a website, highlight certain things as well as organize finds.
