The video posted on the website about Indicee was very interesting because it showed ways in which businesses are able to find an easier way to do things such as accounting and share the information with all those who need it. I think that this is very helpful and makes things more proficient because business people are able to share this information easier and do not have to deal with all the tabs and questions and re-writes.
I think that Cube Tree may be more effective than Indicee because it is free forever. Indicee was not free forever. Also Cube Tree has all the essentials such as social networking and collaborations tools. The website seems very good and does the same things as Indicee for cheaper.
DocVerse does basically the same thing as the other two sites but it also charges money. This makes it less effective than Cube Tree because it is charging companies and with the way the economy is right now people want the cheapest thing out there which is free.
SocialCalc is a good website that has been around for quite sometime and does have more experience than the other websites. It has been in business longer so it has more credibility than the other sites. The only down fall to SocialCalc is that is charges. The charge although is cheaper than DocVerse.
Adaptivity is another cloud computing website that is being used other than these top four. It is just like the others and seems to have good credibility along with the others. It does all the same basic things as the other systems.
The final site is Akamai. Akamai is another company that does cloud computing. It has a descriptional video describing why this is so important. It also has all the same features as the other websites.

Social Bookmarking
Social Bookmarking is a system that people can use in order to save sites when there are lots that they use. The part that makes it social is that they can share their tags with other people in there groups because everything is public.
Anyone can use social bookmarking services. The video described teachers and students using bookmarking to find helpful sites for classes.
People go on a website and they choose one that they want to save for late. They clock tag on the bookmarking site and fill in more information so that there is a list of tags on all the websites they bookmarked.
This is significant because instead of having to write every website that you find interesting down you are able to just go on your computer and still have the website tagged 2 months later or even longer.
It is going to be a better system for people to use who need to do a lot of research and things because it can save all these websites on the internet instead of people having to write everything down.
It can be used by teachers and students to share websites on a particular subject in the class. This helps to share information and get more involved in the classes because all tags are public.
Downsides could consist of you tagging too many websites and everything being just as disorganized as before social bookmarking came about.
The benefits compared to traditional bookamrking are the fact that everything is public in social bookmarking. When tags are public everyone in your group is able to see what you are doing and this makes things easier for classes to share.
Three popular sites are delicious.com, twitter.com, and digg.com. The top one is most likely twitter. Everyone uses twitter nowadays and it seems to be very popular.
