The MEdTech Bookmark Manager is a tool which allows users to store bookmarks online, tag them, and share them with others. Not only are bookmarks stored in one easy to access place, but this application allows users to rate and comment on bookmarks, as well as choose to keep them private or share them with others. The bookmark manager was especially designed for medical students and faculty at Queen’s and contains several features not found in traditional social bookmarking applications, such as a thumbnail screen shot of the page you are bookmarking and the ability to rate your bookmarks and share these ratings with others.
The bookmark manager is accessible to all staff and faculty of the School of Medicine that have a MEdTech account. To begin using, simply log on to the MEdTech Bookmark Manager and begin adding bookmarks. For more information on how to import existing bookmarks from your browser and how to customize the bookmark manager visit the About page.

Given your interest in a social bookmarking manager that takes screenshots and allows easy sharing between users, I thought you might like to check out http://www.blinklist.com. If we are missing certain features that you need, I would love to hear your thoughts. Not sure if there are special needs for medical students that would require a different bookmark manager. If you get the chance to play around with our new site, I would love to hear your thoughts. Mike
