I chose Del.icio.us. It one first place in social bookmarking on the Web 2.0 Awards List. It allows you to bookmark sites that you find of interest and create tags for them, which groups them into categories. This service is free. :) You can also type a description of each site. This site allows you to pull up your bookmarked sites from any computer. You can also view others' bookmarks and find sites that are of interest to you. Del.icio.us can be linked to your own website, where others can have access to your bookmarks. If you have a site you would not like to share, you can hide it where others' will be unable to view it.
I definitely like this website, and have it linked to my school website. So far, I have no dislikes. I provide links to sites that are relevant to my students, such as sites on mathematicians, certain geometry topics, free calculators, and free graph paper. I also have other sites that are of interest to me, but I have those on the hide feature, since they do not relate to the students. Using this social bookmarking tool allows my students to use information I recommend on safe sites from their home computer. It saves from mistakes being made by writing a URL down by hand.
