We all love to save useful webpages for future use, however, there are times when traditional bookmarks can't be utilized due to poor organization, use of a computer other than our own, etc. I really like the idea of social bookmarking sites that can be accessed from anywhere, provide easy sorting of webpages as well as links to related information others have found. As far as I'm aware, social tagging is already active in some OPACs in which library staff and patrons identify resources and suggest related items of possible interest. The recommendations of those with similar interests can be of great value.
I appreciate the exposure to Connotea and CiteULike for management of bibliographic references. These look especially useful for students, clinicians and writers and I'll definitely have to give them a try!
