I am really excited about this Thing. I have definitely found myself getting frustrated when I had previously found a really useful site and bookmarked it, but then cannot remember what it was called or just cannot find it in the huge mass of bookmarks I already had saved. I think tagging could be a really big help in keeping my digital resources organized. One disadvantage I see is that it is yet another site that I have to maintain and update. With so many of the "things" we have been covering, I think it comes down to finding what is really going to be the most helpful for you as an individual to get the most of the resources available and help you to be more time-efficient. If I do decide to use a site like del.icio.us, I need to make sure I am ready to commit to it so that I am really getting the most out of what it offers.
It will be important for me to name the tag something that I will remember -- and probably to be consistent with the naming. I do like that you can tag one thing different names though, because obviously a site could offer information on more than one category that I would like to revisit later. Writing a brief description of the page will hopefully be a good reminder of what I liked about the site and why I chose to tag it in the first place.
I think my favorite part of tagging is going to be that I can access the tagged sites from any computer. There have been plenty of frustrating instances when I had found a great resource on my home computer and made it a favorite, but then forgot to email the link to my school email and could not find it again at school.
