Collaborative tagging, or social indexing, is organic, evolving and user-created, unlike a controlled vocabulary.
I already had an old Delicious account, but I had never really used it. I added some of my favorite recent bookmarks to it and used more tags rather than fewer this time. I do need to go back and clean it up. I am one of those who has used both "library" and "libraries" as tags, and that is not a tidy way to do it. My account is at http://delicious.com/gcarr55858
I took a quick look at Furl. I liked the opening page, graphics and the introductory information there better than at Delicious. At Furl you can save a cached copy of your bookmarked sites in case some of the sites disappear in the future.
At Pagekeeper there is a user-friendly mini tutorial that introduces its features. I really liked the layout of their sample page. I think Pagekeeper could be adapted for use in libraries to construct informational pages for staff as well as for patrons.
I had the problem about leaving comments yesterday too. But it seems to be working now.
