del.icio.us

I enjoyed this exercise and learning all about this application. I like how del.icio.us uses free form tagging and has no specific rules or guidelines. I now know what folksomonies are.

I had some fun following other users “tag trails” to discover other websites of interest to me, enabling me to further build my knowledge network. Have started to create quite a good information directory on del.icio.us.

I can see many benefits for using this application, including creating reading lists and for researching material.

I like how you can see how many people have a site bookmarked, which is a good indication that the site is worthwhile.

I think del.icio.us is a great discovery tool and I am certain that I will use it lots.
