Thing 13!

It seems like tagging is kind of like having folders for your bookmarks, but things can show up in more than one folder if they have more than one use. I like that part about it- the fact that you can have more than one tag for something- if a site contains more than one type of useful info, it will show up in different categories. Plus, if you have a good system of tagging, it can make everything more useful. I can see disadvantages if you're not very organized about it- say you have two tags that are really similar, but not quite the same; it might be more difficult to find exactly what you're looking for in your bookmarks. I can see how this would be useful if you were connected to your whole department on it- sharing links and helpful info is always great and it makes it easy to do on your own time frame.
