Thing 17 – Tagging/Folksonomy/del.icio.us

I’m already familiar with tagging and some of the benefits after having used LibraryThing for a class at school. We used both class-specific tags and our own tags to identify various books we had to read for a literature class. It was helpful and easy to find the books that fellow classmates read merely by searching for our class-specific tag.

I went ahead and created my del.icio.us account, something I’d been meaning to get to for a while. I don’t bookmark a whole lot, generally speaking, but will see how useful I find this tool. Certainly at work it will be more helpful since we hop from one computer to another all day long!
