ConclusionConclusion“The buzz surrounding so-called Web 2.0 technologies is deafening and, in my opinion, deservedly so. While sites like MySpace and YouTube have garnered most of the attention, I think the trend of "social bookmarking," otherwise known as "tagging," just might be the most interesting development of all. “

-Roger Riddell

This quote was the most powerful sentence that I read in all the articles because in my opinion I agree 100%. There are new technologies created everyday, and social bookmarking so far is the most interesting. Social Bookmarking can be used in so many ways, and is something that virtually anybody can find use for. It is even perfect for those who love organization. Social Bookmarking gives you legitimate sites and saves you hours of pointless research. One of the most intriguing things about social bookmarking is the ability you have to connect with other people, teachers, students, employer, etc around the world. If you ever in need of information on a certain topic you can link to others for more credible and quick websites. The best thing and by far the most interesting is the fact that it is not only a viable resource for teachers in education, but for students as well.
