There is great potential for using social bookmarking sites such as Delicious and Diigo. As we posted our websites of the day, it has been fun and interesting to see other websites that others have posted and I'd like to think of Diigo as something that I will always have as a a resource to use in the classroom. I also liked Delicious because you can search for different topics that will initially give you as many options as Diigo has for educational websites. Basically, Delicious is like a million Diigo's tied into one big site. I also really like that you can add certain links that people have added to their stacks so that you can personally have it within your own stack. As far as having all the bookmarks, the amount is endless! I think it is very helpful as a teacher to be able to tag certain stacks that pertain to a certain subject and/or lesson. That will make it a lot easier to find certain links that way and will also make the bookmarks more organized. As all teachers should collaborate to assist each other, I think it's a great idea to socialize through the use of bookmarks. Why not share an idea with a fellow teacher, or better yet, maybe you will pick up another creative lesson or idea. Teachers are always looking for further resources or assistance so social bookmarking would really benefit all of us teachers in that perspective! I have attached a screen shot of the Delicious stack I made that correlates to my learning standards.
