Social Bookmarking in Plain English

 

Use del.icio.us and furl.net to

  • build an online personal library related to your interests that you can call upon when you need access to information

Social bookmarking let's you

  • tap into the libraries of others
  • form networks and be a part of other people's networks
  • send other del.icio.us members resources directly and they can do the same for you
  • see what others are finding
  • be part of del.icio.us networks, enabling you to take advantage of the efforts of people worldwide
  • subscribe to del.icio.us content so you can get a steady stream of content about a particular topic sent via RSS to your aggregate (Bloglines and Google Reader)

Furl 

  • takes a "snapshot" of the content you place into your Furl account so you always have access
  • gives you a "local" copy that resides in your account
  • is useful to use Furl when you encounter transitory content, such as newspaper articles, etc., that you know will be removed from the online site in a few days

Combined together, they form a very powerful tool set for storing and managing my online resources. Excerpted from David Jakes' Wiki at http://newtools.pbwiki.com/Social+Bookmarking+101

Let's Get Started with Furl.net http://furl.net/

Once you see an interesting web site, how do you ever find it again? Do you save it to your local hard drive? Do you bookmark it or add it to your favorites list? Finding an old site can be very difficult. It might not stand out in the thousands of results from the largest search engines. It might not stand out in a long list of bookmarks or favorites. And if you are using a different machine or a different browser, it may be completely inaccessible to you. The more you use the web, the more this is a problem for you. Everyone suffers with this.

Furl.net is a web site that solves this compelling personal information management problem for you. By bookmarking any site you find of interest on Furl, you can easily annotate, find it later, refer to it, and share it with others. All on a system with practically unlimited storage, accessible to you from anywhere on the web, at no cost to you.

Furl provides so many features it can be hard to take it all in. There are many other "social bookmarking" web sites out there, also - how can you compare them to find the right one for you? What follows is a list of Furl's features to help you see the big picture of all the things you can do with Furl. We believe you'll find that Furl solves your problems easily and simply, and that you'll love using it as much as we do.
