Eric G. Young on 30 Dec 12AllMyFaves.com is a homepage provider with which some of you may be familiar. The site organizes and curates website links into visually-oriented categories - encompassing everything from craft sites to webcam chat sites. it then displays them on a nicely pre-configured - or, if you wish, user-configured - ayout. i can tell you AMF makes an excellent, easy to use homepage - particularly if you are a visual person and need to be able to "see" your bookmarks rather than just have a list or collection of folders. i also like the great diversity of categories the site provides in organizing websites, and have found many sites and resources using AMF that i would not otherwise have found - including many helpful educational sites, writing sites and so on. That's why i think AMF is a potentially "cool tool for educators" to consider. in addition to this system, AMF provides "Weekly Faves." These are generally 10 weekly "faves" - i.e., new websites of particular interest. There is also at least one mobile app "fave." At the end of the year, users are invited to vote on further curated list of runner-ups if you will for the best new sites/services of the year. The voting for this year's "best of" ends today, so if you want to vote on the runner ups listed, go to the link i provided and cast your "likes" as votes. Once winners are announced, i will list them here.
