Thing 11: Yummy delicious

I tried some tagging (see previous post) and set up a del.icio.us account. Now I have attractive new icons on my tool bar. The material and examples presented were helpful in showing how libraries and scholars could use social bookmarking to share and organize bookmarks. Thank you. However, as many people have commented, it's just one more thing to have to check. I think I would have used del.icio.us more if I were just starting out collecting favorites/bookmarks or preparing for a class. As far as tags go, I suppose the caveat is that they can be subjective and not necessarily accurate, unlike carefully crafted (ha), politically correct (ha again) library subject headings.
