Acceptance

omg. I have finally accepted the fact that I need to write these postings and they are unavoidable, no matter how aggravated I am with them. I feel that I am cutting things down to the wire this week with the posting, but I was doing too many things at once and ended up saving this to the last minute. Sorry-_-.
Anyway, I am here to talk about Share tools and my opinions that go along with them. I find that tools such as Digg, Reddit, and Newsvine are very similar to Del.icio.us in terms of use and can be used as such and for more specific topics. Before this assignment I had never heard of these sites and as such have not read about a story or topic through these links, but I feel that they could be useful if you wanted to "reserve" topics for different sites. For instance, you could look for political articles and stories on Digg, and use Reddit to find more personal interest articles.
However, I think that any given person could find most of what they are looking for on just one of these sites, so having all of these different sites to look for different subjects can become rather clustered, which would make them pretty inconvenient. For me, I barely use Del.icio.us, so it becomes rather pointless to create accounts on other Share tool sites.
