2. In 2003, del.icio.us (now called Delicious) started what is called "tagging".


3. One of the advantages of tag-based classification (such as web sites)is the that it is done by human beings, not software.

4. Social bookmarking can be useful as a way to access bookmarks from various computers, organize bookmarks, and share bookmarks.

5. There are however, disadvantages as well. E.g. no keyword standards, synonym/antonym confusion.

6. Tagging is also an excellent tool for spammers.

7. If one does not have a lot of bookmarks, "delicious" is not so tasty.

8. It seems a lot of these sites are just a means of advertising for the sponsors.

9. There are others ways of bookmarking that may even be safer.
