Comment on SOCIAL BOOK MARKING
Dear all,
the e-tivity we are supposed to carry out this week deals with social book marking.
Social book marking is a way to store and share your favourite websites and blogs online. First of all, we were supposed to explore http://del.icio.us and find five websites we were interested in, but also of interest to our classmates.
Most of us found websites dealing with the English Language, i.e. English errors, English listening, the use and the non-use of articles, English synonyms; with subjects connected to University (Tulane University); and also to our future after it (stages and master abroad and in Italy). For each website we were supposed to make a post on del.icio.us in which we briefly described it.
Then, we were supposed to comment on a bookmark of each of our classmates but this was a problem because each of us was registered in del.icio.us with a nick-name and not with his/her proper name. For example, I was registered as "bbaby83". I found five interesting websites:
Language Translation: English, French, German, datch, Finnish, Czech, Italian & Portuguese ;
Guide to Grammar and Writing ;
11 rules of writing - a coincise guide to important grammar, punctuation, and writing style rules ;
Variation in English words and phrases ;
English as a Second Language Glossary of Idiomatic English Expressions .
As far as my classmates' choises are concerned, I think they found very interesting websites too. I am particularly interested in:
"Blogging from beginners: ProBlogger Blog Tips" because it is an introduction on the basic elements of blogging and, as this is my first experience in the blogsphere, it is very useful for me;
"Guide to Punctuation" because you can find some easy but very important instructions on how to use commas, full stops, colons etc...;
"English Synonym" because synonyms are very useful for improving your writing skills.
Finally, in "Steges in Italy and abroad" and "University master in Italy".
In my opinion social book marking is very useful; as a matter of fact thank's to my classmates's favourite websites I found some interesting pieces of information I will use after my degree (for example, to find a stage or a master).
Well guys, that's all for the moment!
Bye

Dear Barbara,
Sorry to hear you had a bit of trouble finding your peers’ bookmarks (using the course tag didn’t work?), but in the end it looks like you managed fine. We should have created a network in class, but we didn’t, so we’ll have to do it tomorrow.
Anyway, I’m glad to hear you found some interesting websites and found some of your peers’ bookmarks useful.
Just a few language comments:
- verbs: we have been supposed to, was register
- ‘of a classmate’s interest’ is awkward, in English ‘of interest to somebody’
- preposition: comment…, was useful … improving
- spelling: neck-name
Sarah
