Emerging Technology Post #3, Social Bookmarking

For this post on social bookmarking/tagging, I chose to use Stumbleupon as an example. As you may have seen from my widget on the left, it's one of my favorite websites to go to when I have a little time to kill :)
The definition of social bookmarking, which I'm stealing from dictionary.com, is "a method for storing and managing bookmarks of Web pages with individually chosen keywords". Basically, it's like our del.ici.ous account- except WAY more fun in my opinion! This technology is very user-friendly and very easy to use. You can "surf" with out without an account, the plus to having an account being that the website will recognize what you like and find more things that interest you.
I have been using this technology for about a year, so now it's your turn! Just go to www.stumbleupon.com; there is a list of categories you can choose at the right that interest you. I usually look up tags like photography, animals, arts, and gadgets, but find something that you would really like to learn more about. There will be a bar in the top so that when you are ready looking at the current page, simply click "Stumble" and it will take you to the next! Have fun (and don't get addicted)!
