Thing 6

I have already used Skype. I love this tool as an instant messenger. If you have not tried this tool I would definitely recommend this.

For the new tool I chose to create a del.icio.us account. This was so easy to do. I chose to do this because I am constantly bookmarking a site on a computer, then needing it somewhere else. When bookmarking using del.icio.us you "tag" a site and it saves it in an internet based bookmarking site. You use it just like you would bookmarking through your web browser. The beauty of this is that you can log on to you account from any computer and find your bookmarks! Another great feature is that you can place your bookmark into a category. For example, I love to cook. I am always looking for and finding recipes and equipment on my computer. When I find something I like then I "tag" it and put it in my food category. Later when I go back to my account , instead of looking through all of my bookmarks I simply find the category of food and it will tell me all of my sites that are listed under food. Another great feature of this site is that it is a social bookmarking site. This means that I can log on to my account and search the entire del.icio.us site say under the food category. It will find all sites that have been labeled as "food" from all account holders who wish to share the site. So you not only have your sites but you have many, many more. The only dislike I have for this site is that it is blocked by MISD. This creates a little bit of a problem. You will have to get around the block. If you have not created a bookmarking account of some kind, I recommend that you do!
