The evolution of bookmark services

Hi!       

Today we are going to analyze the evolution of bookmark services.

So, it all started with delicious with a nice friendly web 2.0 interface, with options for sorting links by different tags, etc. For convenience, labels can be grouped into bundles. But then there was a rumor about the possible closure of delicious — and the termination of support for this service. So, people had to explore some new online bookmarks such as:

Visual bookmarks TOP-PAGE

In addition to visual bookmarks that can be expanded and the desired function as —synchronization with them from another computer, the service also offers a search bar and 20 background images to choose from.

Visual bookmarks WEBSTARTPAGE

The functionality of this service is supplemented with a weather informer, otherwise it is the same basic features as all services of this subject, an unlimited number of visual bookmarks and synchronization with them.

QMOS visual bookmarks

The advantage of these visual bookmarks is in a fairly loyal interface and mobile version, unlike previous services, there is no possibility of expanding bookmarks and a search bar.

Visual bookmarks "Online Bookmarks"

A feature of this service is the setting of the window grid, the number of columns can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally by setting an arbitrary number of windows on each line.


As for me, I use google chrome bookmarks, because I like to keep it simple.

I would at least add small tests. So, here are TOP 3 services i like the most: Free English pronunciation Course program I think this source is really useful, because it’s important to improve your pronunciation by watching videos made by native speakers. And also I’m familiar with Heather Hansen, the tutor, because on our 1st year in university we used to watch her video “Chaos”. And since then I’ve watched a couple of her videos. www.esltower.com/ It’s...

What and How google services might be used in the english language learning / teaching

The google applications include communication and collaboration apps that work across platforms, making education more mobile and accessible. So, here are the top rated apps to me: GOOGLE DOCS AND GOOGLE SHEETS They allows you to track any changes made to the document in real time, leave notes, corrections, use the built-in chat. An ideal tool for group work on text and error correction. A great feature of Google Docs for teachers is the ability to track the changes made to the document by each of the participants using the Revision History function. GOOGLE FORMS With Google Forms it is very easy to create questionnaires, quizzes, questionnaires. Ideal for homework and independent work in the classroom. GOOGLE SITES projects have a platform for comments and statistics services, which means that each student will receive feedback from the teacher and classmates.
