I have used social bookmarking in the past more for personal use but this week I have spent more time exploring tags in reference to education, Web 2.0, etc, and I have found many great resources very quickly. Social bookmarking is something I have tried for a few years now. The problem I have is to remember to place my bookmarks in Diigo instead of only bookmarking them in my browser. I learned my lesson when my computer crashed a few months ago and I had to format my computer and start all over. I took for granted that my bookmarks would be saved in Firefox as they always were, but to my surprise they started a new system and I had to create a new account and lost all my bookmarks. I had many saved in Google Chrome but there were many in Firefox that will be forever lost. I recently installed the Diigo extension for Chrome and Firefox that eliminates the problem in remembering because it is quick and easy to remember to save bookmarks in Diigo.
Having the ability to use tags to create my folksonomy will save a lot of time when I am browsing or searching for a specific topic. This is my first experience participating in a social bookmarking group. I will be exploring more groups to join in Diigo. Social bookmarking helps users to collaborate with others to work smarter, not harder in finding and sharing great resources.
