LOVE IT!!! I can't wait to get started with social bookmarking, even if primarily for selfish reasons. So often I've been away from my home computer wanting to get to one of my bookmarked sites, but I have no idea how to find it on someone else's computer. So being able to relocating and still access the same bookmarked sites is a huge plus for social bookmarking! Is it a great way to organize resources? You bet! So many times on site fits multiple uses and categories, but you can only bookmark it one way. Later, you may not recall the way you first categorized it, so you spend wasted time searching for something you've already saved. Grr. I also appreciate the advantage that your find can be shared with friends and colleagues. It may also simplify creating bibliographies for students.
The downside to this fabulous tool is that we don't all think alike so we won't tag alike. As in my previous statement, sometime we ourselves don't remember in which category we first bookmarked a site. Fortunately, social bookmarking allows for multiple tags. Yea!
