Delicious is a great tool and should do the trick. You can set up common =
tags for your organization then set up feeds that pull all sites with =
that common group tag along with any other search term. These can also =
be fed into other systems using the RSS for the subscription page. I =
have used it with classes I have taught as well as classes I have taken. =
It can be a very powerful tool for collaborative resource sharing.

We'd like to be able to share website/favorites/bookmarks among faculty =
and
are curious how other schools have decided to do this. Right now, many
teachers have websites bookmarked on their own machines (which means if =
they
are elsewhere they don't have access) and some staff is pasting links =
and
descriptions into shared Google Docs, but these are rapidly becoming
unwieldly. We were considering setting up Del.icio.us for the school, =
but
wanted to know if there were other options.

Thank you.
