THING #11

I tagged one of my blogger posts and created an account with del.icio.us. I searced for hobby and library information. The site is very straightforward and easy to use. It would be useful for reasearch or fun. Some of the tagged items on the library sites seemed outdated. Wonder if these sites were set up and then not used much, which I could see happening. Again, this web device could be used as a link to our library services.
Only downside is yet another location to maintain and update.
Learned a new word. Folksonomy: community of users who develop a unique structure of keywords to define resources.

If you don't find del.icio.us useful for libraries, it might be useful for your own use keeping personal and work items together here. And, it would be useful to point out to some of your patrons as a way they could organize things.

I have been a huge fan of del.icio.us for a long time now...I love it!
