Symbaloo

Hey Ya'll! In the past few days, our teacher showed us a website called Symbaloo.  Symbaloo is a Social Bookmarking Website. A Social Bookmarking Website is a website that helps you create a shortcut and share different websites you have found or use regularly. This is a very helpful website and can make your internet use a lot easier.

Symbaloo consists of different tiles that make a shortcut to your most used or favorite websites.    First you make an account and then you make a page.  On that page you begin making your tiles.    
The picture below is of my personal Symbaloo featuring my web tools.



On Symbaloo, you can create as many tabs as you want.  I have created two of them.  The one above is for my school use.  The one below is of my personal use.  It contains websites like Facebook, Zappos, and Pandora.  These are the websites that I use most.


First create an account.  Once you do that, you click the plus sign and it creates a webmix.

After your webmix is created, you then click on a tile and search for a website you want to put. After you search for your tile, an icon will come up and you click on it and add it to your webmix.


If your tile doesn't show up, the you click 'Create you own tile.' You then follow the instructions and it will add it to your webmix.


Using Symbaloo can help make your web surfing easier.  If you want to discover more websites, you can go back up to the search bar and search a topic and learn if anyone has made a webmix about that topic.  Then if you find one, you can view it and add it as a webmix.
