Scrible - Bookmark, Annotate and Create Bibliographies

Scrible - Bookmark, Annotate and Create Bibliographies

I may have just found a competitor for Delicious when it comes to using a bookmarklet on your desktop.  I encourage you to check out Scrible.  While I don't think that I has quite the same social bookmarking capabilities that Delicious has, it does offer some pretty amazing tools that I find useful and that I could encourage my students to use.  Scrible offers the ability to do things like highlight, annotate, use sticky notes and change the font of websites that you bookmark.  The greatest part of all that is once you bookmark it and save it to Scrible, that is how the webpage will look to you the next time you visit it.  Imagine all the research time that is saved when you can highlight and take notes right on a page as you are researching it.  Save it and come back to it later and the notes are still there.  Scrible also has a feature that allows you create bibliographies while you work.  I recommend checking this one out.  It have great potential for our students.
