LiveBinders Tips & Tricks

Ms. Kellogg has created a binder full of interesting sites for her 2nd grade students to explore over the summer. She put the binder up on her wonderful website. (When you look at her website, be sure to check out the great “how to” videos that her students created at the bottom of her site.) […]

We just added two easy ways to share a binder.  You can now email a binder to some one else while you are viewing that binder.  You can also easy tweet a binder from within the binder. To see how this works, click on a binder to open it.  Then click on one of the […]

Thanks to some excellent feedback, we have a new release that includes several improvements to LiveBinders. As you know, LiveBinders is like a 3-ring binder for the web – allowing you to capture a variety of web links into a tabbed format which we call LiveBinders.  Instead of bookmarking links – you can add them […]

I don’t know how many people were keeping their bookmarks at Ma.gnolia, but my husband was one of them.  Their recent data loss is a shining example to us all on the importance of off-site back-ups.  Why is it so hard to set up a comprehensive back-up system? In some part it is like earthquake […]

Twitter has been in the paper recently with talks about trying to find ways in which to monetize their popularity.
