Bookmarking Gone Wild
September 24th, 2008 by admin
My friend Barbara is a new computer user and is doing pretty well. Within a few months of the time she got her first computer, at the age of 60, she surfing and sending email.
So when I dropped by for a visit I was surprised to see her grumbling at her computer. She told me she loved finding great sites but couldn’t remember most of them. When I asked her if she’s bookmarked them, she said she had. All of them.
Barbara must have had hundreds of sites bookmarked, so I suggested she try a social bookmarking tool, like Delicious, where she could add and organize her favorites. She loved the idea.
I also suggested she might want to limit her bookmarks to just her favorites.
