I had done this lesson earlier except for this blog; week 5 started and I forgot to post this blog. Now I have read the articles and reviewed my earlier work on del.icio.us so I can write my review. As part of my review, I found new links to bookmark in my del.icio.us account.
I like this tool, find it helpful instead of bookmarking to a specific computer and will share my knowledge about social bookmarking with others. I can see social bookmarking as both an easy way to create bookmarks as well a tool for research assistance. I like the casual unstructured tags that are used to describe the web sites selected. While searching del.icio.us I lost track of time, especially as I am attempting to find the correct tag to use when looking for new web sites. I like sharing web sites as well as the ability to mark ‘my personal’ web sites as private. Over the summer I will show my 12 and 15 year old nephews how to use del.icio.us to get them on the started on the right road. Of course they might already know about this web site and show me a few things.
The funny thing is I had printed the del.icio.us help sheet on August 2, 2006 to remind myself to investigate the web site. I had not investigated the web site, thank you for getting me in the program. I want to thank MLA for providing this course.
