Thing 11: Tagging and Del.icio.us

At first I thought del.icio.us just seemed like a glorified "Bookmarks". But now I've used it some and looked at how other people and librarians (not that those two groups are exclusive) use them collaboratively - they seem really useful. I love that you can have access to those bookmarks from any computer. I love that you can follow a trail of tags and see what other people are tagging for the same topics.

I know it's not very librarian-like, but I like that the way people tag is not standardized format, but random and vague and the terms they use can be so varied and inconsistent.

I will make much use of this, I'm always researching something, so I'll be able to group my researches. Cool
