RPP #32 Congratulations, Social Bookmarking and Podsafe Christmas

    • del.icio.us - uses tags to organize and remember your bookmarks, which is a much more flexible system than folders

    • furl - copies web pages you want to save and share
    • technorati - searches and indexes the world "live" web, especially blogs
    • Google and Yahoo - allow you to save bookmarks
