Social bookmarking is brand new for me. I only learned of del.ici.ous (I guess now just "delicious") when it came up in class several weeks ago. I signed up, out of scholastic obligation initially (after all, I do want to do well in the course!) but have found myself getting excited about it. I did watch the commoncraft video on it, and that helped make it more indispensible. Just the thought that I can have access to "my favorites" from any computer, and access my friends' favorite links as well is so incredibly useful. I love having the delicious bar at the top of my screen under the browser on my laptop, as easy access to those links.
Organizing links? That is something I am still figuring out. I use tags like "educational resources", "handbells" (I direct a handbell choir), "elementary" (resources for elementary teaching), "technology" (videos and sites containing/about tech applications), "games" (educational game sites for students), "grants" (links to grant sites I have looked into or applications I have submitted), "tutorials" (tutorials I have found helpful or want to review), "nyc" (links to things in and around the city that I have interest in), and "library" (sites specifically related to my work using and managing a library) as well as a few other things.
