Social bookmarking in Plain English
Came across another little movie in the Commoncraft series : this time it's about social bookmarkiong and it makes a very good introduction to del.icio.us. As they say "We made this video because we want people to see the power of social bookmarking and how it makes web pages easy to remember, organize and share". Could be very useful to "sell" the idea to academics and to some students.

Social Bookmarking Service
It is just too much. Did you know that there are over 15 billion web pages? To make sense of it all, we need to pluck out the best pages and save them for later. We have choices. We could bookmark or add to favorites in our web browser. Nah, it quickly becomes messy. Plus, these bookmarks are tied to only one computer. This is the old way. There is a new way that does not use a browser. It uses a website. This is called a social bookmarking site, and the one we will use today is called Delicious. It makes bookmarking more useful and fun. We will focus on three things how to get started with bookmarking, how bookmarks are organized by tags, and why this kind of bookmarking is social.
