Wow! I remember learning a little about these social bookmarking sites this summer but I really did not understand until now. This is an excellent idea for teachers to share important information with one another. The cool thing is that if you can get your colleagues on board you can create an easy one-stop shop for web related resources. In a world where collaboration is becoming more important every day, this type of tool is going to be a great asset.
As far as the classroom goes, most of my students do not have e-mail addresses. But if I were teaching older students this would be great for group work. For example, you could use it when doing projects for literature, science, history, or just about any subject that needed research. The students could share their information. It would also be great for checking references on research papers. You could require the students to label all their information under a tag in their bookmarks.
I'm really excited about using this tool with my fellow teachers.:)
