Social Bookmarking Project

1.  What's another way you can organize and store information on your computers?

Other ways you can organize things on the computer is by using sites like Digg reader or just adding the websites to your favorites or bookmarks.  Digg reader will allow you add certain website under a certain topic/folder. 

2.  What have you learned from researching the above topics? What do you know now about those current events that you didn’t know before?

I learned a lot about storing different information on my computer.  You can use different bookmarking websites like Digg reader(RSS feed) or Diigo to help you organize different websites that you might need to reference later.  It is more effective than just bookmarking websites on your computer because it actually help you organize the websites.  I honestly didn't even know websites like Digg reader and Diigo existed before this class.  

3.  What are other social bookmarking apps/websites?

Other social bookmarking websites are Digg reader, Delicious, Evernote, and Scoop.it (the period is suppose to be there). 

4.  Will you continue to use social bookmarking?   

I will most likely continue to use social bookmarking.  It makes it much easier to organize different websites that I need to reference at a later date.

Holiday Break


     Over the holiday break I did a lot of reading and seeing friends and family.  I started the Uglies series by Scott Westerfield towards the end of break.  I also did a lot of shopping over the long vacation with the money I got from my birthday and Christmas.  My birthday is on December 23rd, so I celebrated my birthday with many relatives and good friends.  Over break I also got the chance to see some movies that I really wanted to watch and just relax and take my mind off work and school.  I finally got the chance to see Mockingjay Part 1 with my friend (Tara).  I enjoyed the days of break when I wasn't celebrating and just reading, shopping, or doing whatever I felt like.
     Over the break I celebrated the holidays with my family.  I helped cook the different meals that we had on Christmas.  For Christmas I mostly just got money because that's all I really asked for.  I enjoyed getting to see my family and hang out with them for Christmas.  On New Years Eve I also saw family and we enjoyed watching the ball in Times Square drop.  I really enjoyed my holiday break with friends and family.
