Social Bookmarking is Too Social

I don't know what I did wrong, if anything. After I created my bookmarking tags, I started getting random stickie notes showing up on my desk top, from random people who had nothing constructive to say. Eventually they stopped showing up, but it scared me. Who were these people and how did they leave a stickie on my computer? I guess I worry that someone is going to get access to something they shouldn't. Or perhaps someone is going to contact a student or one of my kids when they shouldn't. I guess a good course of action would be to learn and know the online security protocols.

On the bright side, this online bookmarking could become an excellent tool for those of us who use more than one computer or for collaboration between teachers of the same disciplines.
