Some Thoughts on What is Delcious.

Well I ltried to find the tutorial to teach me how to use Delicious, but I couldn't find it. I then figured I will look at it and muddle my way through. So I looked at the socal bookmarking site Delicious. I made an account, I looked up some things, and didn't find much. I like the fact that the list was more narrow than with a browser search. It is also nice in that smaller buisnesses can advertise their products on a smaller platform where they can be noticed more easily. It might also be interesting for libraies to explore, but overall I was not too impressed with the tool.  I was able to link to a few pages and add tags, but they were not any moe insightful that the ones already applied. It might make for interesting bookmarking capabilities for very specific projects.  If the language is in the tags then you could probably find some very specific links.

  1. I was unaware of delicious as well. I think if it's going to be used for research, it won't be as efficient because it seems limited on findings. Although social networking has hit a boom, this too will find its way in connection with things like facebook and myspace.

  2. I believe that Delicious has more potential then actual use right now. I could see this being useful in another form or if a lot more people used it but I didn't find it very useful.
