I'm a reticent blogger
Blogging doesn't seem to come naturally to me. I know that the purpose of this blog is to keep a record of my journey of discovery into new tools, but this is a very public forum, wider than just my classmates. I have this feeling that all my Puritan ancestors are lined up in disapproval. Seems kind of silly.
Sooo... here goes for Social bookmarking. This seems like a great organizational tool. I bookmark pages in IE and Mozilla, but then have two places to look. I also look forward to archiving sites and information for my own research. Maybe I can even drag my computer-reluctant husband into using this tool in his own research. He's just finished his dissertation in christian counseling, and this would have been a great way for him to keep track of web resources, especially those that, as Richardson says, suffer from "linkrot". He had a hard time citing some sources that disappeared.

You may be reassured by how few people actually visit if you install on your blog the site meter that Jacqueline wrote about in her blog. It will tell you who logs on, when, from where. I'll think you'll be pleased at how little traffic your blog actually gets.
