There are disadvantages to social bookmarking. Although the
organization of social bookmarking is flat with no folder fuss, the
tools are still evolving and not all are user-friendly. Also, people
create the tags. As a result, they create a level of meaning and context
not found in current search engines (
Wikipedia on Social Bookmarking). However, no
consistent standards and management exist for tags, which can create
confusion and result in wasted time.
