From the discussions we have had and the articles I've read social bookmarking is a great way to keep valuable sites that I would find organized. Since I'm not typically an organized person, this could be a really good tool for me to use.
As a student, in preparation for the Technology Article Notebook Project it will be important for me to get organized and stay organized. As I visit worthwhile sites I will need to conserve time and be able to quickly get back to useful information to extract additional information. The unorganized electronic world I currently live in would find me searching for these sites continuously or having hundreds of sites handwritten in my notebook.
As a student and a teacher, another benefit of social bookmarking is the "social" part that allows others to view and take advantage of the time others have taken to research material. I expect that I will need to be critical in my decision-making of who I will look at to view bookmarks, but this could potentially save me a huge amount of time if I build a strong base of friends and colleagues who have bookmarks that I can trust.
This type of system in technology leads me to the big "ah-ha" moments of figuring out how other people can accomplish so much work in so little time. They are working smarter, not harder!
