Social Bookmarking

I've played around with del.icio.us and can see how it could be very useful. Especially since you are able to access your bookmarks from any compute, anywhere. Personally, I don't see myself using the site very often. Not because I don't think it's useful, but because I don't tend to bookmark sites. I usually have the sites I access the most memorized and can find other I need with quick Google searches. (I take that back--when looking at my web browser, I noticed that I do indeed have sites bookmarked at the top of my tool bar...but I like to be able to get to these sites from any window I'm in and don't think I would log in to del.icio.us to find them if they weren't there.)

I can think of at least one example of how social bookmarking sites could be very useful in libraries or schools and that is creating an enhanced syllabus with readings and resources all pulled together and shared with a whole class or group of students.

If I were more of a "bookmarking person" I think I would use it all the time. Who knows, maybe I'll change my mind! :-)
