Social Bookmarking

With the information explosion brought about by use of the internet, it's only natural that a tool to categorize and manipulate this information would be developed. Del.icio.us is just one of many social bookmarking services designed to allow users to create a powerful network of information using tags to produce a folksonomy which in turn helps the user navigate through the information.
The absolute convenience of being able to share copious amounts of information or knowledge with a limitless number of other internet users makes it a very powerful tool.
I believe Del.icio.us is great for saving and sharing the knowledge found on websites. Being peer driven makes the social bookmarking services even more valuable within organizations.
I think they will undoubtedly be refined as more and more people use them in a collaborative effort to share resources.
