BP5_LiveBinder

Web 2.0 Tools
www.LiveBinders.com

Live Binders is an online virtual three ring binder to help people group, classify, organize, and share information on the Internet. Tabs can be created in your binder for each item you want to save. I thought this might be a useful Web 2.0 tool for me to save things I find concerning my Action Research Project. The tool comes with a browser button that is very handy. I can just look at a website and if I think it is relevant to my project I just click LiveBinder it in my bookmark bar and it saves the site to my Action Research Binder. I can also create other binders and access them as well. The virtual binders can be posted anywhere, and accessed by whom ever I choose. I can make the binders private or public and it's free!

Some of the fabulous features on LiveBinders are being able to easily import your Delicious bookmarks and YouTube videos. You can keep your binder on your desktop for easy access, and everything on the site is very user friendly. You have the option of using Flickr images to dress up the cover of your binder and it is simple to upload .pdf, .doc, and .jpg file formats. Users can browse other public binders to generate ideas or just to find information on thousands of topics. This site is simple, useful, and an amazing tool for sharing information.

I can't wait to see what my binder will look like at the end of this year. I have found it to be an great back up to my desktop storage system I have right now and it might just replace it all together. I hope everyone checks this out and finds it to be as useful as I have when sorting through the mounds of information for their ARP's.
