Week 6: #13 Tagging and Del.icio.us

It's not hard to see the value of Del.icio.us. There have been times when I've used a computer away from home and wanted to look at a particular website, only to find myself thinking, "I have it bookmarked at home!" I am definitely going to set up an account.

With Del.icio.us, your bookmarked sites are mobile. How cool is that?! As mentioned in the Us.ef.ul beginners guide (which does give very useful tips to the novice user), it would be great for students doing research for the same reason. They can bookmark the sites they are using, and then use computers in different locations without losing their information. Of course, this service would benefit library patrons too, many of whom don't own their own computers. It's just another great service that I didn't know existed until now. Actually, I had heard of it before, but didn't know what it was or how it worked. I'm learning so much!!!
