Web 2.0.

I have been trying to learn as much as possible about the emerging Web 2.0 for educational purposes.   The problem is remembering all of the really useful websites,  - and your ever important account logins!!!! So, after a few months, I realized the importance of social bookmarking.  This helps the first issue of remembering your websites.

I recommend you get a Del.icio.us account.  Creating a del.icio.us account will enable you to bookmark your favorite sites and let you access those bookmarks via any computer you are using.  You are no longer restricted to bookmarking to your personal computer, be it Mac or PC - it is now accessible from anywhere!     

As far as remembering all of your user account information - ie passwords and usernames, I would get a second email address - or Gmail for me - specifically or emails regarding you account confirmation emails and so forth.

So step 1) - get a Del.icio.us account to bookmark your favorite sites and access them anywhere; and 2) create a Gmail or Yahoo account solely for your account confirmations and web research/learning.

See you soon . . . . .
