Free Web Friday

Well, it time for another edition of Free Web Friday. This edition will highlight three very useful items on the web.

Delicious - I don't know about the title of this website - it has nothing to do with food or taste - but I do know that it is an invaluable tool. Delicious is a social bookmarking website. It allows you to bookmark your favorite websites, organize them into bundles and share them with others. What makes this tool invaluable is that because it is web-based, you can access it from any computer, even public computers. It is especially valuable for when you use more than one computer. Say you have important work-related bookmarks saved on your computer at the office, but you are working at home. If you need that bookmark, you have to go into the office to get it or search around the internet to try to find it again. Delicious eliminates this problem by organizing all of you bookmarks in one place.

Personal Ancestry File (PAF) - Personal Ancestry File (PAF) is offered by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and allows you to record you family lineage and heritage. This is a great tool for people interested in genealogy.

Ancestry - Another free genealogy resource that allows you to build your family tree online. Like PAF, this is a great tool for people interested in genealogy. Building your family tree with Ancestry has a lot of benefits, although the additional benefits are only available with a subscription. Those benefits include access to birth, marriage, and death records, U.S. Census records, military records, and other member family trees to help in researching your family. Ancestry family trees can be downloaded and integrated with Family Tree Maker - separate software program. Ancestry makes this edition of Free Web Friday because creating your family tree is free.

Well, that's it for this edition of Free Web Friday. Lok for the next edition sometime in February.
