Thing 13 -- Tagging and Social Bookmarking

I'm so excited about tagging and signing-up for Delicious! I have a ridiculous amount of "Favorites" at home, but when I'm at school I can access them. At work, we're not allowed to save on our computer thanks to the security system that we can Darth Vader, so I can't have websites saved on my computer at school. This process looks like it will solve a couple of issues: 1) I'll be able to access my sites from ANY computer, and 2) I'll be able to tag items and sort them into useable categories so that I can find what I want more easily.

For me, I need to remember to make tags simple by watching my punctuation (which is always an issue for English teachers who use proper punctuation even when texting). I'm thankful that I can go back in a change tags, if needed. I love that I could send a tagged site to a friend (or collaboration group member) just by using their delicious user name (for:myfriend) and it will be sent to them. Technology is so cool!
