"Tag you're it!" Social Bookmarking

As I have become more accustom with using Delicious as a social bookmarking spot and not just a place to store bookmarks, I have been struck by the importance of tagging. I didn't originally tag or just tagged with one or two tags, however for the bookmark to be useful to others and in order to help sort my own bookmarks, it is important to include as much detail in the tags as possible. I find I am now going back through my bookmarks, re-tagging and reorganizing. I think reorganizing and focus on proper tagging (along with adding networks) is all part of using social bookmarking at the next level. I look forward to seeing how Diigo ups the ante.

I will be interested to see how you like/use Diigo. Check the link in my post which compares delicious to Diigo....that may help you decide how to use it.

The info on Diigo was great. I've played around a little and have started my own account.
