Here's another useful video from the Common Craft Show explaining another internet concept. This time it's 'social bookmarking'. Forget the 'social' for a while and think of bookmarking. Most of us bookmark our favorite sites using the browser menu, but this then keeps the bookmarks on just our local computer. If we were to go and work on some other computer, we would lose all that information. This is about saving your bookmarks on the internet so you can access them on any computer connected to the net. Very very useful to those who mostly frequent the internet using Cyber Cafes. The social part comes at a later stage, when you share your bookmarks with other people and access other people's bookmarks to gather more information.
I use del.icio.us, which is what this video is about, and my place of work has also launched into this sphere by having an account.

Note that it is also possible to download add-on features to integrate this bookmarking service into your browser. Links to these are available below

Then i find out i get linked to over 200 people in mumbai for no reason who send me mail and add me as friends and keep troubling me on my messenger, no thanks i prefer meeting people i want to meet in real life, not that i am quirky but i feel a lot better when i know a person face to face. I know you praz and doc reckon "Oh great this is coming from a guy who has a shaadi.com profile and is looking on there for a perspective bride". My answer to that is ummmmm...
