Of bookmarks and tags

Wow, I was really NOT thinking Web 2.0 as I approached Delicious. My thinking is completely utiliatrian when it comes to bookmarks and tags, what they are and how they could be used. I would have never considered the idea of tag clouds that change like clouds in the sky depending on my bookmark needs at the moment. If I were to look at the Bookmarks I have on my home PC, many of them have been there for a long time and half of them aren't even used anymore. it requires effort to delete them so I don't. The tag cloud idea is one way to help end that problem.

So I start playing around on delicious and found some interesting stuff fast!

http://www.libraryinstruction.com/info-tech.html Had to look for something like this..huge bibliography but kind of short on substance.

So in the space of just a few minutes, I found some stuff that is usable. That makes del.icio.us pretty usable. Good stuff.
