In an article by Rebecca Hedreen (2005). Frequently Answered Questions: Questions Answered by the Distance Education Librarian at Buley Library, Southern Connecticut State University. This is an Experiment in Distance Education Library Communications. Retrieved on July 14, 2009 from http://frequanq.blogspot.com/2005/02/social-bookmarking-in-education.html.
The idea of using Furl as a depository for research documents kept the author organized throughout his research. Furl and Delicious are web based so it was easy to retrieve any information whether at home, school, or work. One of the most positive aspects of tagging is that when educators try to sift through millions of sites that may or may not be there the next time you want it. When you tag the sight it will be there the next time you need it.
Groups use these sites as collaborative sites to establish unique tags to help group related links for their projects. What is great about these sites is that other people can add to your bookmarks, which will help the author in research for his/her topic.
Another site for educators is www.edutagger.com. This site has set up blogs from educators on various subjects, such as, widgets for your site, and articles on education. Educators can post their own bookmarks and social networks on this site or set it up on your own web site.
