 3.1 Social bookmarking

Social bookmarking is an Internet tool that lets us organise, use and share information more efficiently. All of our content is stored in the cloud so we can access it from ani location in the world. Some of the most popular social bookmarking applications are: 

https://del.icio.us/

• Delicious is a service that lets us save our favorite web pages along with a description and a list o key words (tags) for easier classification. We can share this information with other people and see the cntent that tey have bookmarked.

https://www.diigo.com/

• Diigo defines itself as a 'multi-tool for knowledge  management'. It lets us bookmark the pages that we visit and create a digital library in the cloud, with links, notes and images. We can access this library from any location and select the information we want to share.

  Evernote provides a convenient workspace where we can collect information by capturing articles and images from the Internet. The we can add notes and share information with other people. The application also has a search function for finding specific details in the content that we have saved.

 3.2 Working in the cloud.  

 Some Internet services let us create, save and modify documents online. This is called 'cloud computing'. The most popular cloud-based services are Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive.

 

 The two main advantages of these services are:

•  Access to our files from any location or device with an Internet connection.

• The ability to share our files easily with other people.

 In addition to storing and sharing information in the cloud, we can also use programs for word-processing, spreadsheets and presentations.

 Other services, such as Flickr and Picasa, let us upload and edit photos in the cloud.

 

2. FINDING INFORMATION

 2. FINDING INFORMATION 

 The most common sources of online information are web pages and news feeds.

  2.1 Web pages 

 A web page is a collection of documents that can include text, audio, video, images and hypertext links to other we pages. A browser is a program that locates a web page by its address and lets users access the content. For example,Youtube and Daily Motion allow users to upload videos, create their own channels and subscribe to the channels of other users.

               

A search engine is a web page with a database of information about other web pages and their   content. 

2.2 News feeds: Rich Site Summary (RSS)

Rich Site Summary (RSS) is a subscription service that provides users with frequent updates from media websites, blogs and other sources of information.

RSS news feeds are convenient and time-saving. Since subscribers receive the news automatically,   they do not have to visit so many websites. People can subscribe in two ways:

• Directly from the web page, by clicking on a 'subscribe' icon.

• Through a news aggregator program, such as Old Reader, RSS Reader or Netvibes. More modern programs, such as Feedly, can be downloaded to smartphones with Android or iOS operating systems.

Web 1.0

When we talk about Web 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0, we are talking about the      way that users participate in activities online. 

• WEB 1.0 or the read-only web: It was a network of documents and people could not interact with the content. They couldn't give their opinions, ask for information or register as users. Almost everything that people used online was also part of the World Wide Web (www).

Web 2.0

• WEB 2.0 or the social network: Users could not only receive information, but also createvand share it. New services appeared and became popular, such as email, chats, videoconferences, forums, blogs, wikis and programs for person-to-person (P2P) file exchange.

Web 3.0




• WEB 3.0 or the semantic web: New technologies allowed the integration of data and the web so that programs could 'understand' and work with the information that they received, Cutting-edge developments formed the basis of technological evolution: artificial intelligence (AI); applications that do not use a browser, such as smartphone apps; virtual reality; and Global Positioning System (GPS).

These tools, which are explained in four sections, will be very useful to you in the future.
