Bookmarking

Last week, I had to wipe my computer in my dorm, because it was infected by a virus... I lost so many bookmarks. I was so angry at myself that i hadn't known about this website before hand. There are websites that allow you to bookmark website, on it. The one i am currently using is diigo.com (look on the right side for a link to my bookmarks) Now, not is diigo wipe proff. in other words if you have to wipe your commuter you can still access what you bookmarked. BUT BUT BUT!!! YOU CAN ACESSS THAT CONTENT FROM ANY COMPUTER! (as long as you know your password). You also can access other bookmarks that people have posted (so long as their public). But this allows you to collaborate at get access to so many website, and you can also check them out, and use them. Instead of everytime you need to find something going to google(or your search engine of choice) and typing in that topic, and getting 128,347,783 results reported and then having the time consuming, task of sifting through all of that information to find the website you really want, or even that is good to use.... There are draw backs such as people's definition of good, and if things are tagged properly. (tag are keyword that help you find the websites you want when there is a long list).... Luckily for me i may be able to find those website again. because i had to save them in a bibliography for a Unit (15 days worth of lesson plans and activities one 1 subject)...but it will take me so much more time, that if i had know about diigo.
