Netvouz: Your Bookmarks Online. From
A to B to C: I'm passing along this reference to Netvouz, and online
sharable bookmarks manager which I first saw mentioned in Bruce
Landon's Weblog for Students (and which was in turn drawn from the
EduBloggers Links Feed).
I very much like the way this bookmarking service is organized, with
listings of both New Bookmarks and Most Popular bookmarks on the top
page; Netvouz public bookmarks are both searchable and browsable.
Bookmarks can be kept private or shared. The best way to get started in
Netvouz, after registering, is just to jump around and explore its
contents and features, after that examine the About section and get
started using Netvouz after reading the Help/FAQ section. Netvouz has
several bonus features such as automatic link checking and rss feeds
for bookmark lists that enhance its value. Compare Netvouz with Furl and del.icio.us.
Since the site is just getting started the developers are definitely
open to suggestions for improvements and additional features.
"The idea behind Netvouz is that you should
always have access to your bookmarks. Regardless if you are at your
computer at home, at work, in school, at a friend's place or outdoors
surfing from your cell phone. By keeping your bookmarks on Netvouz you
always have instant access to them, regardless of where you are and
which computer you are using! On Netvouz you can also be social and
share your bookmarks with other users and, of course, also benefit from
other users' bookmarks. It's a great way to find new great web sites in
your areas of interest!"
As every webhead knows, organized bookmarks constitute a valuable
mapping of learning spaces. The ability to share bookmarks is one of
the important learning boons of the Internet age because it allows net
users to share their discoveries and to compare organizational schemas.
E.g. what I put in a collection of bookmarks on "Educational
Technology" will not be the same as those of others; both the
overlappings in collections and the differences are informative. Look
at ten different collections of bookmarks on "Computers" and you will
find ten different mappings of the subject, reflecting ten different
cognitive maps and ten different explorations of the worldwide network
of information. ____JH
