There's a tasty solution to having bookmarks spread among several computers: delicious.com Delicious is an online bookmarking site that is used by thousands of educators. To start using it, register for free at Delicious.com Be sure to install the buttons for your web browser. You'll want to install the buttons on all of the computers you use. When saving bookmarks on Delicious, you're asked to tag it. A tag is simply a word you use to describe a bookmark. Unlike folders, you make up tags when you need them and you can use as many as you like. The result is that your bookmarks organize themselves. You can import bookmarks you already have into Delicious. Just follow these instructions. Delicious bookmarks are social because they are shared on the Internet. You can view other user's bookmarks and tags and save them to your own account. To the right is a list of recent bookmarks that have been tagged azk12 as they might be of interest to you.
