Thing 11

I've been using delicious for a while now and have never taken it past the "bookmark" phase. I knew there was more horsepower there than I was using but, eh, who's got the time? I'm now better aware of the "social" uses of the bookmarks and have already used that aspect to explore subjects of interest. I'm also intrigued at the potential of using it as an alternate search engine and as a way of sharing with a group of like-minded people (the Henry Clay Admiration Society, for example.) Tagging is another thing I've grown to like and am very frustrated at the inability of Windows to use tags. Files would be so much easier to find over time if I didn't have to search through various folders trying to remember where I've left them. Saving bookmarks and being able to use them anywhere is useful, and exploring weird or obscene words is good for a laugh, too. Using delicious, or some other social bookmarking tool, at the library is a natural and should be considered as a dandy alternative to the pages of links we maintain when the Website redesign occurs later this year.
