Site " CIA - The World Fact Book" bookmarked by 1692 people to date.
This site provides a profile of every country in the world; including a statistical overview of the country's demographic makeup.
View of ALL pages revealed many sites such as : "Assembled Western Philosophers" eg.
Plato and Aristotle. Philosophers appear chronologically in "Philosophy Timeline"along with the additional thinkers from the "Dictionary of Terms and Names" including Umberto Eco and Meister Eckhart.
View of POPULAR pages revealed again many sites. One of which touched me -
"Alison on the Behance Network"
Alison by Jack Radcliffe - saved by 225 people to date.
A visual life-story of Alison, capturing moments in her metamorphosis from infant to woman - her relationships with her friends, her rebellion, and underlying it all - her relationship with her father.
Tag Clouds -a display of tags where size reflects popularity, sorted alphabetically by size.
Explored "most interesting" tags on Flickr - explored "beach clusters" where beach photos are refined & found my blog photo "Chesil Beach" by Peter Van Allen.
Explored "most popular " tags on del.icio.us -observed how favourite sites & sharing of these sites with other users occurs.
Ann Arbor District Library -Viewed examples of collection tagging - top 10 tags, most recent tags and random tags - contained high percentage of recreational content.
Summary -Social bookmarking sites are a great way to categorise content, whereby new bookmarks are tagged and accessible from home, office or anywhere.
Libraries could make use of" del.icio.us" by tagging books according to genre / most interesting/ most popular, for instance and with community input, further the links on their websites.
