The Practical Guide To Content Tagging In Social Bookmarking

For the purposes of this post, I’m going to refer to Delicious.com quite a bit. Not only is it my social bookmarking mechanism of choice, but it is the one utility essentially geared for just that — bookmarking. Not voting, or front page-getting or popularity contests.

Whether an advocate of Dropbox or otherwise, I'd like to share with readers a cool feature that allows your Dropbox public folder to be used as a host for your web content. By taking advantage of Dropbox's public folder and the ability to share public links, those wanting to avoid a full plunge into selecting a host but wishing to have live web content should definitely like having this easy-to-do hosting option. While using Dropbox in this way might not meet the needs of all designers, it can be particularly useful to educators.
