Bookmarking Sites Easier
I want to cheat a little bit, and include another video from The Common Craft Show. I love what Lee has done with these videos – his product is explanation, and he does a great job at it!
Why is social bookmarking important for a church staff? It’s simple really – the same reason it’s important for anyone. Social bookmarking’s biggest benefit, in my opinion, is that your bookmarks (or favorites) travel with you everywhere. Since they’re not tied to a specific computer, you can easily access your important sites wherever you go.
I started using social bookmarking when I wanted to track people. For instance, I would learn about a missionary’s Web page while I was at work, and I would bookmark it. When I went home and wanted to look at the site, I would think, “What happened? I know I bookmarked this.” Finally, I would always come to the realization that it was on the other computer that I bookmarked the site. So, in comes del.icio.us to the rescue – now my bookmarks are shared between both computers (and any other computer in the world at the same time). AWESOME!
