What are the advantages and disadvantages of storing, sharing and tagging web content via social bookmarking such as Delicious?

The advantages are for visitors to tag webpages with their key words and/or comments. This allows sharing of knowledge and easy access to information. It is a form of a quick directory.

The disadvantage is that the visitor may enter the tag that is not related to the content and can be misleading.

I am most intrigued by using a blog to benefit Volunteer Resources. We have currently started to use a blog to create an awareness about volunteer opportunities and have just started to highlight volunteers. I would now like to learn what other things we can do to maximize this tool.

Social networking such as facebook also intrigues me and it helps to create an online community. One of the things that scares me is to the potential breach of privacy.

This was easy!

This is my first blog!!!
