and the award goes to...

i browsed the category sections, clicked on a few and finally decide i really liked .............drum roll please.
clipmarks.com
Save the web content that makes you sit up and take notice, not just the web page you found that content on. Share that content with others in the hope that it will make them think, "wow!" as well!

okay i liked, no loved the idea and was all ready to sign up after viewing the page but then i clicked on FAQ and i did not like the fact you had to install it on your browser. this means you cannot access it like other services without first installing it. kinda sucky for folks like myself who have dial up and can only install so much without making your computer waaaaaaay too slow. sigh. oh well maybe when i get a computer with more memory or whatever.

i guess you can use this in libraries for regular school projects or not then kids would not learn how to do research. well you could use it in the lib for questions the librarians get asked all the time by patrons about certain topics like genealogy, real estate, gardening, home improvement, etc.

i also liked Blue Rectangle bluerectangle.com . i have a bookmark from them that i found at the library and i really like this site. i think every college student should use it.

i also like http://www.writeboard.com/
Online text editing made collaborative, Writeboard lets you and your team edit documents while still being able to access earlier versions of the same text. Subscribe to RSS feeds of documents’ changes and share documents with as many people as you like.
this seems like the perfect tool for business projects and school projects since so many folks are on the team. it s a lot easier than everyone emailing their work and drafts to everyone else.

that is as far as i got i mus come back and explore some more. oh yeahhhhhhhhh.
