Social bookmarking is important because it helps people manage and search bookmarks of what they need online. It is useful to me when I am studying for school or working on a project because if I find a website that I may want to use later I just have to bookmark it. Bookmarking has changed in the last 5 years by people changing algorithims. It has also gotten bigger.
ReplyDeleteSocial Book marking is used for bookmarking sites that you want to receive updated information from. Social bookmarking is useful to students because you can subscribe to teachers blogs and other resources and you can stay up to date with them. An example of how social bookmarking can be used is if I want to keep up with my friends blog I can bookmark it and get automatic updates whenever he posts something.
DeletePeople and society have changed by every one wanting information very very quickly and updated regularly, so it has made our need to stay informed go up with the increase in speed of information transfer all in the last 5 years.
Social Bookmarking is important, because with it students such as myself can easily find information for school, or other important areas of life. In school we’ve gone on Delicious, and Digg to find articles, and videos that would help us with reports, or lessons for that day. Using social bookmarking we can easily find material that are both appropriate and go with our topic. You can use social bookmarking if you have to write an essay and need an article, video, or website for the article. Also, you can use it for anything; say learning how to cook. You can type in cooking, and the only things that pop up are links with cooking tags. People and Society have changed over the last 5 years with social bookmarking because we’ve been able to use the internet for more and easier learning. In the last 5 years using computers and technology has sky rocketed and people use social bookmarks on a daily basis to find what they need quickly and easily. In our computer classes in Jr. High we used Delicious for our lessons to teach us about cyber bullying. Education has changed with social bookmarking, and it will continue to change as technology improves and expands. (Jocelyn Groll)
ReplyDeleteSocial book marking is a useful tool to a student like myself because it keeps people connected. Having school and to study like most of the people my age do, you cannot be near your friends whenever you want. So, you can use social bookmarking instead. You can let other people know what you are doing at any point in time. You can also see what other people are doing on their social bookmarking site if you wish.
ReplyDeleteSocial bookmarking has changed alot in the last 5 years. Just like people, social bookmarking is making new advances every day to integrat new things, and every day people start an account to social bookmark in an effort to keep up with technology as it advances.Social bookmarking has effected people because they can know what is happening in many different situations without obtaining the information in other ways. instead they can just use social bookmarking.
The purpose of social bookmarking is to help you get to sites that you think are important just by pressing the webpage they are under at the top of the page. For some people it can be used to mark sites that are useful like if they have a online study guide they can save it as a bookmark and get there quicker than typing the whole link out. Bookmarking over the pass five years has become more widespread as more and more people are getting on the internet and using it as a resource for work/school and for communication, therefore bookmarking those sites because they are important.

Socal Bookmarking is to save a web site on your browser a visit it again without having to search for it again. It's useful to a student because if they are writing a resach paper and they have to leave to go home they comback the next day and bam right there ready to go. It has changed a lot in the past five years like now you dont have to wright websites names down to remember them, it is easy to search, you dont have to leave the house to go to the library and find books on the subject. It also has made people very lazy because it made them not have to leave the house and also had made people very antisocal.

ReplyDeleteSocial bookmarking is important because it helps people search for and save whatever it is they may be looking for online with only a touch of a button. For me, it is useful because I am able to do things like research papers by finding information posted by other people, and interact with people all over the world all at the same time. All I need to do is bookmark information, and anyone I want to see can see what I have found or said, and I can acess it from any spot I want. Social bookmarking isn't just for research papers, either. I can use it when I have found something that interests me, or something that I enjoy, and I can share that with my friends, family, or whoever I choose. I can also talk to, and see what my friends are doing, what they have posted since they have entered the social bookmarking site, and I can also see pictures of things that they have been doing, or things they have put online of me.
ReplyDeleteAlthough social bookmarking has changed society in many ways, sometimes it is hard to realize it. Society has become more dependant and reliant on the internet in the past few years, that we even rely on social bookmarking sites for seeing our favorite telivision shows, talking to my friends, and even things like finding information for papers. As an individual, I hardly ever go to a library when I am working on a paper unless it is required because everything I need can be found on social bookmarking sites. I don't talk on the phone like I used to either because I can easily and quickly chat with the people I want online. We have become very reliant on social bookmarking sites for just about everything we need.
In the past five years, social bookmarking has grown into something very popular and useful to others. All the time, new social bookmarking sites are being created or growing. Popularity of specific social bookmarking sites have grown and faded, also. Things like Facebook, StumbleUpon, Flickr, and Delicious are all different examples of social bookmarking sites that have become very popular and grown over the past few years.

Social Bookmarking is important because you can follow websites or blogs. It is useful for a student like me because I can look on websites that I follow for information on a project. I can also go to that website really quick because I won't have to type in the URL. The past five years people are really getting into them. Facebook and twitter have just been up for at least 4 years been popular because it is organized and easy to use. Some Social Bookmarkings like IM just got lost because they weren't popular.

Social bookmarking is used to find websites easier without having to try to find them again. I use social bookmarking to make note of a website that I don't need right now but I may need to use it later.

Society has learned to search the Internet easier and more reliably using sites they bookmarked and finding sites people bookmarked.
