Flickr and Delicious

Flickr is a handy tool for sharing photos. It includes many social tools that most other photo upload sites do not. It has good functinality with many of the other social media websites like facebook, twitter and blogger. This allows for relatively easy ability to link photos between accounts.

Delicious is a excellent tool for everyone especially those like teachers and librarians who often end up using multiple different computers in different areas. It allows you to have a consistent and accessible anywhere list of sites, as well as being able to search for other sites people have bookmarked on the site.

With Tag bundles you are also able to create tags groups for specific areas allowing for organisation of tags into groups. For instance you can create a tag bundle for Libraries that includes tags for library, web2, conservation, and books. This would allow you to choose to view only thebookmarks that have these tags. Allowing for better management of these bookmarks. Also a tag can be used in multiple bundles so you can have a bookmark in multiple bundles.
