Thing 10: Tagging and Delicious

OK tagging and delicious sounds like a tasty game. Just kidding I am somewhat familiar with the concept and I went back and made sure there is at least 1 tag (or label as Blogger calls them) for all my posts so far. I am getting pretty good at editing my previous posts!

I had heard of delicious before but I don't remember checking out the site before. I had fun looking at The most popular bookmarks on Delicious right now. Next I looked at the most popular Tags and found a really cool site that let me do the following word cloud:

I watched the Social Bookmarking in Plain English video.

Then I checked out the NEFLIN23things account with Delicious. Subscribing to the RSS feed is a great way for me to keep up-to-date with what's added!

I explored some of the bookmarks and tags and read the comments. This is what has taken up most of my work on this "thing" as I am easily lead astray...off on tangent...out exploring the www!!!!


I can definitely see the advantage to creating my own Delicious account so that was next on my agenda. The #1 reason for me was To be able to access all my favorite websites from any computer I use. Here at our library we are constantly moving around from service desk to service desk to our assigned desk in the workroom to training lab and wherever....so it will be great to have all my "faves" and bookmarks in one place. Yippee!!
