INTERNET BOOKMARKS

According to Wikipedia, in computing a bookmark is "a stored web address of file name for quick access, used by web browsers". In shorts: if you think there are too many good websites, blogs or on-line newspaper articles you want to get back to, the net provides you many opportunities to store and organize your favourite links. Internet Explorer gives one the possibility of saving links by clicking on the "Favourites" voice which can be found on the browser menu. Mozilla Firefox also gives the same opportunity. Not long ago bookmarks have become another resourse one can share with one people. The phenomenon has been called "social bookmarking".
How can one share link with other people? Web-based bookmarking services are provided by search engines like Google and Yahoo. You can also turn to web servers. Perhaps the most famous one is del.icio.us. Here you can subscribe for free, and once you get your personal account you can start bookmarking your favourite pages. Recently I have found another web sever, Blinklist, which works exaclty like del.icio.us, with the advantage that the layout of the page is much clearer and, in my opinion, it is even easier to use. Why don't you give it a try? =)
