Week 6 Thing 13

Spent lots of time exploring tagging and the Del.icio.us site this afternoon. It was really interesting to see the tags that have been used and the sites that others have bookmarked. It is certainly a benefit to be able to view your bookmarked sites from any computer. Using Del.icio.us while doing research would make it so easy to keep track of websites with pertinent information on your topic. Categorizing the sites with tags would help to organize your research sites. Also searching with tags would lead you to other sites on the same topic. While exploring, I found the unofficial tools (3rd party applications) in Del.icio.us. There are some really neat applications. I especially like Thumblicious. It shows thumbnail screenshots of popular bookmarks. I really enjoyed exploring Del.icio.us.
