[Yr7-10it] delicious bookmarks thought

[Meadows, Roslyn M]

Hi Vik, 

I have combined Stumbleupon and del.icio.us and it is sending me
crazy!!!
Stumbleupon is a marvelous way to find all sorts of websites which you
would otherwise perhaps never visit. It is a social bookmarking site,
but installs a button in your browser which you click and it then goes
to a random site which others have given the "thumbs up". You can choose
your areas of interest - tick the boxes from a large list which covers
all types of websites on all topics.
So click "stumble" website opens, bookmark good ones in del.icio.us and
give them the "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" in stumbleupon... and set
your alarm for bedtime!!

For your intranet, try Akarru Social BookMarking Engine -

Cheers

1) I quite like del.icio.us and use heavily for my own bookmarks (and
sharing with a small network of friends). (If you haven't come across
this yet, I strongly recommend that you have a look)

2) At school, I have a setup where web links can be dragged into a
folder on a network drive, and they will come up in every student's IE
favourites/bookmarks list.

What would be really cool would be a way to combine the two things
above. Like a delicious (or similar bookmarking system) account or
group that teachers can post links to, but students can read from (but
not add to). Both systems integrated into the browser like the
existing delicious browser extensions.

Does anyone know how to do this sort of thing, or have any thoughts on
the issue?
