Social Bookmarks

This was an easy lesson as my husband and I have been using del.icio.us to share our favorite bookmarks with family and friends on a variety of topics. This could be used by hospitals or libraries to bring together resources without having to "create" a webpage. Yet I see a wiki and other resources that have been discussed doing the same thing. So I'm not sure the value if you are already using a lot of the other resources that I've learned about now. I could see this as a way around security that an smaller hospital might have blocking wikis and blogs though. However, I'm not sure. As a librarian and "organizer" I love the ability to tag. My husband loves the resource because he has built a ton of links to favorite on flying airplanes in simulators that he can share with other enthusiast. I like the fact that there is a separate backup to our hard drive bookmarks. I also like that with my work computer. For security it is NICE!
