Social bookmarking

I checked out both Delicious and Magnolia today, trying to find a way to organize my disparate bookmarks in a way that might help others also.

It’s a bizarre idea, social bookmarking, but it makes some sense to use any means necessary to pare down the vast library of the internet.

I also used Google’s blog search for the first time.What shocked me was clicking on links to blogs on my chosen topic (“online teaching”) and finding lists that were obviously connected to ads for other things entirely.

I also noticed there are already sites containing feeds from several social bookmarking sites, trying to compile them, like popurls. Man there was a lot of junk there.

None of this is helping organize my multiple sets of bookmarks in three different browsers on three different computers — it’s just helping me add to them!
