Enter social bookmarking, tagging, and folksonomies. In a nutshell, the operating principle behind these concepts is this: if I find something interesting enough to save, odds are good that you will, too. And together, using these tools, we can build comprehensive resource lists much more effectively than any one of us could working alone. Exemplifying the wisdom of crowds, these applications are fast becoming an important resource for relevant information.
Diigo is a service that saves a copy of the entire page into your account so if that precious resource disappears tomorrow (behind a subscription firewall, for instance) you still have access to it

- how might this work in schools? One obvious application is to have collaborative groups, classrooms, or even entire districts decide on a unique tag that everyone can use when they bookmark something of interest. Take the AP calculus class of Darren Kuropatwa in Winnepeg, for instance (apcalc06.blogspot.com)
- At the University of Pennsylvania Library, there’s the “Penn Tags” program (tags.library.upenn.edu). It allows Penn students to create “projects” and collaboratively save links, like the nearly 300 that are listed under the title “1935–1945 Films, Philadelphia Film History.” Imagine the possibilities.
