del.icio.us and H2O Playlist

Over the last month, I’ve discovered some interesting new tools that will deserve some more investigation once I get back home in August. The first is called del.icio.us and it is a social bookmarking tool. Social bookmarking is akin to sharing your bookmarks online. It appears to be a great way to bookmark sites and have them accessable to yourself, and others, from anywhere. I started a list here. There are some buttons that you can download into the toolbar of your browser and then easily throw up bookmarks onto your personal del.icio.us page.

The other tool is called H2O Playlists. This is a tool being tested by the Harvard Law school. You can register for free and establish playlists around scholarly topics. For example, here is a playlist of sites one person created under the heading of educational technology. Like with del.icio.us lists, you tag them with descriptors. You can then put the page into your RSS aggregator and receive notification when a site of interest has been added to the list. Pretty nifty and definitely worth a second look.
