As for online deals, I found Amazon.com had deals running all week, with different deals starting everyday beginning today the 23rd. Store.nhl.com has several deals for hockey fans that start from what I understood at 12am Friday morning. TVdeals.gizmocafe.com had several links to tv and other electronics sales being offered.

Amazon had some very attractive deals on certain things like dvd's and blue ray disc. Another interesting thing I found out and never knew before was something known as "Cyber Monday". This is the following Monday after Black Friday. On this day in the U.S. online shopping spikes to a higher level than any other day in the U.S. This is believed to be the result of people wanting to avoid the massive shopping mall crowds on Black Friday. Online sellers offer sales on this day that are just as good as sales being offered in traditional stores on Black Friday. This to me seems like a far better way to shop, as I for one am not a big fan of shopping to begin with so I definitely dont like the idea of being trampled at Wal-Mart by insane people trying to get a free $25 dvd player that probably cost wal-mart a whole $1.50, and was made in Mexico. Sure you may have wait for your items to be shipped for a few days, but many chain retailers such as Best Buy offer free in store pick up of your ordered items so you can wait for all the lunatics to be done shopping and then go get your stuff when you are ready.

1) Social bookmarking is a medium for web users to save, organize, find, and share websites, information and just about anything else they want to keep track of on the web.

2) I would say almost everyone that uses the internet is using some form of social bookmarking in some way or another.

3) Every site is a little different, the basics all seem to be the same, a website that allows you to find, share, save, and organize things you find interesting or useful on the web.

4) This is significant because its an ever improving, very efficient way of promoting, sharing, and saving/organizing information and resources found on the web.

5) Social bookmarking looks as if its future is to be used by companies to share resources with employees, used to promote blogs web pages and anything else such as ideas and views.

6) Teachers can easily share information and resources with other teachers and thier students. Students could easily share the same with each other, which could be very useful during a group project for a class.

7) Some downsides include no standard keywords, also tags could be harder to find because of human errors such as spelling.

8) Some benefits would be that it is very much easier and faster to save resources, and it could make it easier to find tags that are not yet indexed by search engines, because the tag classification is done by people who undestand it, not a search engine using an algorithim to sort things out.

9) Between Delicious, Stumble Upon, and Digg, I was most impressed with Digg, as it seems to be more geared to help internet marketers promote whatever it is they may be trying to promote. Since I am involved in this field, I was happy with what I saw, as I found countless reviews as to how Digg has been known to help so much traffic to your site that it frequently crashes servers because of such high traffic volume.
