Thing #17

I don't get social bookmarking. It seems like an idea that someone came up with because they didn't know how to properly manage a bookmarks list in their browser. Also, the complaint about your bookmarks only being in one place is negated by Safari/iOs features that sync your bookmarks from your computer to your phone. I use folders in my bookmarking menu, so my bookmarks are always organized and easy for me to find. I can see the appeal in easily sharing your favorite sites with other etchers, but I think it all become too much too quickly. Tags or not I think that social bookmarking gets out of hand and unmanageable very fast. Like our class Diigo account. It's hard to find exactly what you're looking for and not everyone tags the same way.
