1.a.  What Social Bookmark Tool did you select?

I selected Pearltrees as my social bookmarking tool.

1.b.  Summarize what the tool does.

The tool lets you put all of your favorite content in one place, such as tweets, Facebook posts, webpages, and even files from your computer.

2.a.  Describe why you selected the Social Bookmark tool that you did.

To be honest the reason I picked this one was because it was the first one I could find that was free, working, and still in its domain site. Though after having used it I’m glad I picked it because it is very nice and allows you to put a lot of content onto it.

2.b.  What was most important to you.

It was most important to me that it was free because why would I use a website that costs money if I can use my bookmarks bar for free?

3.  How easy was it to use

It was pretty easy to navigate, at times I got a little confused, but they were very good about walking you through everything and explaining what the tools did.

4.   How have people been using it?

People use it to organize their content and ideas. In there collections they can organize webpages and that seems to be what they do alot

5.a.  What might you use an Social Bookmark tool for?

You might use a social bookmarking tool to keep track of webpages you like or to keep a running list of restaurants you could pull up. There are multiple ways to use social bookmarking sites.

5.b.  Do you think you could use it professionally or personally?

You would most likely use it as a personal tool just because of the fact that the information on the web that you are most likely to want to bookmark will have more personal implications than professional

6. What do you want your Social Bookmark tool to say about you?

I would just want it to express my interests as well as not overwhelm someone with too much information.

7.a.   How can you protect your privacy?

As usual, the most effective way to protect your privacy is to not give out personal information but since this tool can access your Facebook and twitter you also have to be aware of what is on those websites as well to further protect your privacy. 

7.b. Do you want to?

Yes, I always want to protect my privacy. The whole entire world does not need to know everything about me. 

8.  One other thing you learned.
