Thing 12

Share your thoughts about tagging. Is tagging a useful way to organize your digital resources and why? What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages? What is important to think about before assigning tags to bookmarks or other Internet content?

Social bookmarking is an area in which I have a strong interest. Consequently, tagging is critical. I am excited about organizing my favorties on a social bookmarking website so that I can find what I need when I need it, and so that I can share resources with others. Of course, tagging is the key to accessing and sharing, so it is of the utmost importance. I was glad to read in the article that tags can be changed, because I'm sure that with experience I will discover better ways to tag my resources. It will also be very handy to be able to access my favorites from home and school.

  1. You will really love social bookmarking and tagging the more you do with it - it's such an easy way to keep track of all of those sites that you have on slips of paper and on corners of your desk so that you "won't forget" them...for me, it's been a godsend for a lot of professional links that I don't go to often, but when I need them, I can get to them instantly.
