  • Another site, Connotea, is geared to scientists. Launched in 2004
    as a result of seeing the possibilities that del.icio.us provided for
    the general public, Connotea helps scientific communities manage and
    share their references (Ben Lund, Tony Hammond, Martin Flack, and Timo
    Hannay, “Social Bookmarking Tools (II): A Case Study,”
    D-Lib Magazine, April 2005).
  • 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.
