Social Bookmarking

SOCIAL BOOKMARKING: is it really useful???

Dear guys,
Another lesson in the lab, another adventure inside the blogsphere, so now I can definitely say that this English course is a sort of "work in progress", which is serialized week by week. We have started three weeks ago with the surfing on the blogsphere, then we created our personal blogs, next week there was the discover of feed aggregators and this week we can add another word in our technical English dictionary: Social Bookmarking!!!
As feed aggregators, I've never heard about bookmarking before and so, when Sarah pronounced these words for the first time last Wednesday, I could hardly figure out what she was talking about.
But I must to be sincere; after her explanation too, ideas in my mind didn't become clearer! Maybe because she compared "bookmarking" with the most common Italian tool " Preferiti", and this is exactly the problem: I have never used it before and I didn't know its purpose, so you can clearly understand that at that moment my mind still continued to be blank.
After the same old problems with registration and confirmation, I started to manage this new tool and I have to admit that I was, and I'm still sceptical about its usefulness. I mean, I used to write down in pieces of paper the URLs of interesting websites I found on the web and for me this is the easier way "to build up a repository of information and websites"- as Sarah wrote in a post. Maybe I have to gain more experience with "bookmarking" and I'm still waiting to see its advantages in my English improvements, but up to now, "social bookmarking" remains a sort of "blackhole" in the universe of my mind.
Concerning my classmates' choices, I've notice that they are more or less related to English learning, as mine. The website we have selected more is the BBC's one, and it's used for various tags, such us sport, English listening, media, networks and so on. It's a multifunctional and updated site and we agree with the fact that it doesn't miss to our social bookmarking.
However, I've noticed that none of my classmates decided to add to their tags some online English Dictionaries. I believe that they are essential tools for every student.
Anyway, now I'm curious to know what will be our step inside the blogsphere and I hope I will be easier to manage and understand that the last one.

See you soon!!!!
