10. Social Bookmarking Bookmarks are not stored on your computer Bookmarks are stored on the internet –Accessible anywhere you have internet access (school, home, internet café at your favourite holiday destination) –If your computer dies, grows legs or is left out in the rain, you haven’t lost all those great sites

11. Social Bookmarking As the bookmarks are now stored on the internet, they can now be shared with others (the social aspect) –Colleagues –Friends –Relatives,and –People you don’t know Just give them your del.icio.us address You can benefit also by looking at other people’s del.icio.us address

12. Organising the Bookmarks The bookmarks are organised using “tags” Tags are keywords you create to categorise a website You can use as many tags for a website as you like - just don’t have spaces in them You find your websites by searching through your “tag cloud”
