When I first read the unit's topic of social bookmarking, I was like, oh, boy, another account I have to sign up for and never use again after class ends. But I was wrong.

I have bookmarks I use on my home computers, and I have bookmarks I use on my work computers. I never thought about mixing the 2. But the other day I was at work, and the way our network is set up, I can log in on any staff computer and my profile loads and all my files and bookmarks are right there. But some computers have a generic staff log in where anyone working that desk can use it. When you're working there, you can't log in as yourself. It was there that I really wished I had access to my bookmarks.

So even if I only use my work related URLs, it will be valuable because I will always be able to access them, no matter what computer I may be sitting at.

And you also would be bookmarking not only for your own benefit, but for a potential audience who may want to share in those bookmarks.
