Creating a Website

Today in class we created our own websites using google documents. We also added our teacher to our gmail contacts.

This is a link to the website that I created.

Social Bookmarking Service

In class, we signed up for Delicious, a social bookmarking service. This allows us to save all of our important bookmarks online instead of just in our browser. It also gives us the capability to network with other users and share our bookmarks. This is helpful because not only can be now share bookmarks with others, but we can save our bookmarks somewhere other than just our browser in case that gets lost.

This is a link to Delicious.
