Social bookmarking is a great tool and both Furl and Ma.gnolia look like excellent sites. The tutorial for Furl is so easy to follow. Some interesting things mentioned is the ability to highlight text, and it will appear in the "clippings" section. You can mark your sites private if you desire. You can also access all your bookmarks from any PC because they are saved online, not on YOUR computer. "Hot topics" marked by several people appear in color. You can also add comments about the web sites.
Ma.gnolia might be a good social bookmarking site, but the tutorial is not as good as Furl or del.icio.us. I do like the starred bookmark rating feature. You can also access Ma.gnolia using your Facebook sign in.
The del.icio.us podcast tutorial is so well done; one can't help but like it best. All the bookmarking sites have tagging abilities which make it such a good tool. I can see MISD librarians using del.icio.us to share sites not only on library information, but also quilting, recipes, and shopping. What a great tool! I look forward to using del.icio.us and sharing with others.
