Dear cyberspace friends,
how are you going this week? I’m here to update my blog with a new post about social bookmarking. Do you all know what is it? Being relatively new to the world of blogging I must admit that I had never heard about it before this week. I’m not very familiar with this complicated computer science; as one of our classmates said last week I often feel like a child: amazing things appear from everywhere. Searching the Internet I realize how important bookmarking is:
- it’s accessible from everywhere so that you don’t need your PC;
- it’s called “social” because your bookmarking can benefits other people; that’s the reason why I think it’s all about sharing;
- it’s a sort of filter because you’re choosing from what other people have chosen;
- thanks to the notes you can immediately see the arguments a site deals with and how it's considered by users.
I definitely think that surfing the net and blogging are time demanding activities. Well, this week we learned exploiting a new tool taking from it a great advantage: saving in time without getting lost while doing a search.
This week we have been asked to take a look at our peers’ bookmarks and to post here a comment. Here are my feedbacks:
Write and presenting a thesis
Dear Giovanna, I chose this site from your bookmark because as you can see looking at your network I chose it too. I found it really interesting both for its topic and for its intelligible structure. Reading the introductory paragraph you realize immediately this website is conceived just like a guide providing helpful suggestions to graduate students. Thesis is something scares me because I know time is running out!
Frequently asked questions
Dear Cate, good choice! I think most of us has problems with English grammar and I’m sure this site is going to be useful in my next English activities; I know I’ll certainly come across things I don’t know. It caught my attention because of its user friendliness: if you need to clear up all your doubts just click on the link and…here there’s your answer!
Job Searching
Dear Roberta, this is the site I preferred among the five you chose probably because I have never worked! To write a proper CV it’s not something so easy to do: I think you should be able to sum up your educational background and other details. Obviously it should be effective, concise and complete at the same time…what a hard work! About.com provides us a great variety of CV’s samples and clear instructions. Therefore thank you!
BBC learning English
Dear Stefania, this was the site I appreciated the most! How many things you can learn reading a newspaper! “vocabulary from the news” and “English as it’s used today” are the sections I consider extremely useful. I also saw there’s a blogging service for learners of English… this reminds me something…! Good job!

Using English
Dear Marta, great site with lots of great information... Much appreciation for both the sections "English language reference" and "Tools and resources". I particularly appreciated the fact of choosing resources and tools for students of English as a second language. All excellent information... well-put!
