Thing 19: Tag...You're It!!!

Tagging...I am great at tagging photos on Facebook....it is a great way to share pictures. So, I got to thinking about social bookmarking and tagging online. It makes sense to me. I have to admit that I am also one of those "bookmarkaholics". I love to bookmark...but it gets messy and I do find myself thinking, "What was that site again...hmmm." By tagging bookmarks, I can see it becoming more personal. I would use tags that are keywords to me about certain content I am looking for.

I think my biggest concern would be tagging carefully. I wouldn't want to get into a nightmare list of tags that I start to forget which ones I am looking for...seems to go right back to the original problem.

I am going to want to know more about this...I can see great potential for sharing sites. I often find myself shooting an e-mail out to colleagues saying...found this great website...check it out. I think by tagging on a social bookmarking site, it could help cut down on those types of e-mails too.

So...tag...you're it!!!
