OrganisationMost of what we want to do with these tools, from a personal and professional POV, can fall under one of three categories:
Networking Collaborating Sharing
Networking
Social networking tools allow you to move the old Rolodex or listserv into a dynamic, expandable and active network of like-minded individuals who share and collaborate based on interests and philosophies. Your network has the ability to not only grow your list of contacts, but also provide you with valuable resources and up-to-date information in your particular fields of interest.
Collaborating
Online collaborating tools allow you to work at a distance with colleagues and friends. These tools act as online repositories, word processors, and presentation rooms that are all available from any Internet connected computer. These tools often include, but are not limited to, a mashup of other tools including Instant Messaging services (chat windows), whiteboards, application and screen sharing tools and more.
Sharing
Sharing tools are typically searchable repositories of content. YouTube, Flickr, and Slideshare are some examples of places you can upload and organize content for public consumption. Other sharing tools include Blogs where you can organize content and musings around a topic of interest. Creative Commons Licensing expands the “all rights reserved” model of copyright to be more collaborative and open.

Media Sites
Social bookmarking involves saving bookmarks one would normally make in a Web browser to a public Web site and "tagging" them with keywords.
Creative Commons licenses provide a flexible range of protections and freedoms for authors, artists, and educators.
Blogs are usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video.
Youtube, Vimeo, Flickr, Slideshare, Ustream let you share works you’ve produced with a public audience.
For professional development, these tools provide the opportunity to share resources, original material, and personal opinion.

groups filter the Internet for what interests you
Pitfalls inconsistent tagging can cause false
searches
Social bookmarking involves saving bookmarks one would normally make in a Web browser to a public Web site and "tagging" them with keywords.
creative commons
WhatThe Creative Commons (CC) copyright licenses
and tools forge a balance inside the traditional “all rights reserved” setting that copyright law creates. Our tools give everyone from individual creators to large companies and institutions a simple, standardized way to grant copyright permissions to their creative work. The combination of our tools and our users is a vast and growing digital commons, a pool of content that can be copied, distributed, edited, remixed, and built upon, all within the boundaries of copyright law.
Creative Commons licenses provide a flexible range of protections and freedoms for authors, artists, and educators.
creative commons WhyThe idea of universal access to research, education, and
culture is made possible by the Internet, but our legal and social systems don’t always allow that idea to be realized. Copyright was created long before the emergence of the Internet, and can make it hard to legally perform actions we take for granted on the network: copy, paste, edit source, and post to the Web. The default setting of copyright law requires all of these actions to have explicit permission, granted in advance, whether you’re an artist, teacher, scientist, librarian, policymaker, or just a regular user. To achieve the vision of universal access, someone needed to provide a free, public, and standardized infrastructure that creates a balance between the reality of the Internet and the reality of copyright laws. That someone is Creative Commons.
Creative Commons licenses provide a flexible range of protections and freedoms for authors, artists, and educators.
