Social tools and cloud computing is evolving daily in our everyday life. Companies are racing daily to be the first to the table with new software and updates to their content. Delicious social bookmarking is a social network tool that is a great way to store your favorite website links. This helps you to avoid losing links you stored in your favorites if your computer decides it no longer work. Delicious also allows you to share your links with friends, family members, and the public.
As a production student delicious is a social tool I will be able to use in my career. I can store websites that I use to accomplish my work. I can also store my favorite links and share them with my co-workers. Delicious will also allow me to bookmark my competitor’s website, and follow what they are doing that is new. It will also allow me to bookmark industry sites that can tell me what equipment are new, events that are happening like conference and seminars, and what is going on in the industry.
The amount of social tools out there are unbelievable, it is hard to keep up with them all. In this day of open source software it will be an entrepreneurs dream in this service environment. Cloud computing shares resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand. Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and YouTube are the most popular. Digg is a social news website; you can follow top news stories in the last 24 hours. IKeepBookmarks like Delicious allows you to store your bookmarks for free. StumbleUpon is a discovery engine that allows you to find things that you like and catalog those items for you. If you like food the demo showed it will give you recipes magazines and other websites that are related to the type of food you like. The future creativity amongst the competitors is great. I recently read an article about millionaires before the age of 25. Many of these millionaires started a company that has something to do with the computers or internet websites. This is a trend we have to get use to; the easiest way to start a company today is to start an internet base company from the garage of your home.
The video I chose was a tutorial on how to use StumbleUpon.
