Task # 1 - Assignment # 2

While I was reading chapter 2 in Walrick's text, there were several sites that I have never heard of before.

1. "Backflip" (http://www.backflip.com)

Before I even begin to describe the benefits of this tool, I recommend that you guys sign up for it because it is awesome! As soon as I finished reading all of the things you can do when having backflip, I signed up right away.

• Backflip is the easiest way to save and share important things you see on the Web. With Backflip's organization and powerful search, you'll never lose anything thats interests you again.

• "As you discover interesting Web pages, use the Backflip it! button to save them and Backflip will organize them for you. Then, simply go to your Backflip account and you'll find all of your favorite pages filed in your personal directory -- which you can access from any computer."

• Backflip makes it easy to share and discuss the interesting things you find online with your friends. All you have to do is enter the email addresses of anyone you'd like to share with, and Backflip takes care of the rest. Your friends are notified and they can view Web pages you select, whether they're Backflip members or not. They can make comments, view each other's comments, and if you choose, they can add more interesting pages.

I think that "Backflip" relates to the teachers comments in the article we read last week. It helps with organization, it's fast, it's easy to use and sign up for, and it just makes life easier. Could we ask for anything more?!
