Exploration 8 - Social Bookmarking

Allow me to first comment that I cannot believe that 3 months has slipped by before I had an opportunity to get back to Web 2.0... So, here it is late in the afternoon and I am trying to finish up another Exploration before the day ends again!

At NCO, our first introduction to social bookmarking was when we transitioned from using Favorites for our frequently used websites to using del.icio.us. It enabled us to quickly identify popular websites and be able to access them from any computer. We can easily share those websites and discover new links when browsing tags.

I must admit that I am still a novice when it comes to making full use of social bookmarking and I certainly have not completely uncovered the benefit of using it for research. It may be useful to search it in conjunction with Google for certain research topics; an area I will need to investigate further.

Unfortunately, public service demands prevent me from continuing this commentary at this time...
