Social bookmarking is a great way to organize your bookmarks and share them with others. It allows you to keep bookmarks in the cloud so you can access them from any computer. You can make them public or private, which can be very helpful if you have bookmarks you don't want to share with everyone.
Many years ago I used the delicious website for connecting and sharing with my coworkers Web 2.0 tools. I found it to be a bit time consuming and some of the teachers just didn't have time to connect and access the site. I switched to Google bookmarks when our school went to Google Apps for Education and I've used it since. This is just a cloud based bookmarking system that was more convenient for me. Since we needed to explore Delicious for our module work, I decided to get familiar with it again and I really like how much information I could find out there by just using the discover button and search.
I believe this tool will be so helpful for teachers to stay organized as well as find tools to help with technology integration into the classroom. Like many social networking sites, Delicious has marketing companies using it to sell and market their items. Familiarizing teachers with how the website works and giving them the heads up that some of the things under discover can be from anyone will be important when introducing the tool. I love the following feature of Delicious. You can follow all your coworkers and share links that you find important in education.
I will definitely be using this site again, it was great to rediscover it.
