For social bookmarking we looked at del.icio.us and what can I say, "I love del.icio.us." It is so easy and I can access it from anywhere. I can send links to paticular subjects to people. I can see how many people have bookmarked the same websites. I can even add notes to the bookmark records so that I can remind myself or let other people know why I saved this webpage. Helping kids with homework? Create a tag with their name and send them the url, then when they have homework they can see the websites you have selected for them. No guessing where they are getting their information. It is easy to delete them too, which makes maintenance a breeze. Just click on delete. Want to change the note or add a note, just click on edit. And best of all, I can access them anywhere I can access the internet.
Tagging presents it's own challenge for me, I keep forgetting what tags I am using. Now, don't get me wrong, I remember the tags, I just don't remember if there is an 's at the end or not. Did I make it all one word or did I use the _ in between words. So I end up with duplicates, which I have to go back and fix by editing my records. Oh, and let's not forget when I make the typos and create completely different words. LOL
