Social Bookmarking is simply awesome! I've always struggled with trying to remember things I've bookmarked on my home computer while at work and visa-versa. This site will be insanely helpful in keeping all my bookmarks in one convenient and easy to access (computer or phone) spot. No more emailing my self links to remember helpful sites. Ha! And yes, I'm embarrassed to say that is actually what I did because I had no idea tools like this actually existed. This site has tons of features that I find helpful beyond just not having to email myself. I find the "tags" useful in categorizing my bookmarks. While I've always placed my bookmarks it folders to categorize them, I often forget what I put them there for, so the "tags" will help with that. I also think it's very convenient that you can create groups. This will be great for teams of teachers, colleagues working together across a district and even classes of students to put all of their finds in one location. It's honestly another way to collaborate ideas in a simplified way. It's especially useful having the option to highlight and annotate directly within the page you are viewing. I found a great article on transforming my library space, which is my current project I'm tackling at work. I was able to highlight everything that I felt represented my current needs and tell why, thanks to the useful tools. Now, when I go back to this page I won't have to re-read everything and can easily share this with my administrators effectively.
All in all I'm sure you can tell that this will be a great addition to all of my new found web tools that are making my life much easier. I will be sharing this tool at our next staff meeting on Monday in my featured technology piece.
