Connectedy is Back, But No Easy Back-up Option?
While Connectedy -- our shared bookmarking service -- was gone I began moving things to Netvouz. Netvouz's arrangement of links is less librarian-friendly in my opinion. Connectedy came back online about a 6 weeks ago and we began updating links. However, making a back-up is somewhat of a problem because I have not been able to find an export feature in Connectedy. Importing (uploading) bookmarks is an option, but not exporting. Let's hope we do not lose Connectedy again. The only back-up I can currently think of is to open each category and print every link and keep a paper copy and build again somewhere else, like Netvouz! I will appreciate any ideas others may have about solving this problem. One other problem this service is that the once "public-view" or "shared-view" has disappeared and it requires a login and password for viewing. I have been scouring the site to find how to correct this problem but as yet have not been successful. For the time being, Connectedy is our best option, but I will continue to check other social bookmarking services for something that works better for us.

Losing Our Social Bookmark Service, Connectedy
What a shame to discover the bookmarking service we had organized has apparently been abandoned. The service was called Connectedy and had the advantages of a simple list of links that could be categorized and searched by keyword. While we often find what we need on the Internet through our quick searches, I always felt an additional sense of security with our Connectedy account, knowing that I could locate again a useful online resource I had found before. There were many times that I knew I had come across a great site that held the answer to a patron's question, but I could not remember the name of the site. Checking our links, I could recognize the one I needed and save time retrieving the information.
Now that Connectedy is gone, and it appears to be permanently gone, I have begun to rebuild the links at Nevouz. I am also rebuilding our bookmarks on one of the reference desk computers as a backup that can be re-loaded into Netvouz or another social bookmarking service if necessary.
