After re-reading Chapter 4 again, I started looking into
more social bookmarking web sites and came across the Joomla extension
directory. It’s actually a content
management system that lets you create and manage your own web site. Although I may not use it for that purpose,
they listed several different links for social media sites and content sharing,
which could be very helpful. http://extensions.joomla.org/component/mtree/social-web/social-share/social-multi-share
The “whatis” site below was also helpful. It talks more in depth about how social
bookmarking got started, mentions Flickr and Delicious, and explains that these
types of sites ”provide users with a
place to store, categorize, annotate and share favorite Web pages and files.” It explains exactly how to use social
bookmarking and goes into step by step instructions of how to use these sites,
and states “the results include information about how many members have saved
each item and any tags that they included for it.”
In addition, after researching more options and way to
communicate online, I found an interesting web site called Beyond
Email: All About Online Communication. It’s hosted by a site called GCF
Learnfree.org. Make sure to go to the
bottom of the page and click on #1. That
brings up another page with 9 boxes that all describe different ways of
communicating online. It was interesting reading, with pros and cons about each
type of communication.
