I saw this reference to Connotea recently in the very valuable
Resource Shelf library blog. Over the years I've used various online
services to store bookmarks and also installed several bookmark
utilities on my computers. (In addition to trying to keep my bookmarks
organized and saved within the browsers that I use.) But the number of
interesting resources seems endless, as is the task of keeping them
organized.
Connotea provides one additional tool to keep up with the task:
"Connotea was created by Nature Publishing Group's New Technology team.
The ideas behind it come from del.icio.us,
a general collaborative bookmarking service. Connotea takes this
concept and adds some features to tailor it to the needs of scientists.
CiteULike is a similar online
academic bookmark management service based on del.icio.us, developed
independently to Connotea. We're in close contact with CiteULike to
ensure that our two systems work well together. "____JH

"Connotea
is a place to keep links to the articles you read and the websites you
use, and a place to find them again. It is also a place where you can
discover new articles and websites through sharing your links with
other users. By saving your links and references to Connotea they are
instantly on the web, which means that they are available to you from
any computer and that you can point your friends and colleagues to
them. In Connotea, every user's bookmarks are visible both to visitors
and to every other user, and different users' libraries are linked
together through the use of common tags or common bookmarks."
