Tagging and Folksonomy, Del.icio.us. also

Okay, very nice technology for information gathering and research as well. However, in the area of research, hopefully students and institutions won't become too dependent on this. There are skills that are acquired when research and information gathering are conducted "the old fashioned way". The issue I have with this technology is that basic critically analysis and critically thinking skills can easily be lost by using this technology to assist students/researchers/librarians/etc. in gathering and analyzing information on various subject matter.
