Week 6: Tagging and Social Bookmarking

Oops.  I made a note and worked on my tags and bookmarks early last week. Then I forgot to blog about them. Oh well, it was just that kind of week.  I am proud to report that I exported bookmarks not just once, but twice: from my home files as well as the ones at work.  I can't think of too many times when I've had problems needing a site that I did not have bookmarked or at the top of my memory. Perhaps that is because I am lucky enough to have remote access into our City systems from home so that my work files are never more than a login away.  If I spend a little more time with delicious I think that I'll enjoy using it. I did not find that time this week, but I did remember to add a new bookmark there instead of just at my office desktop. (Thanks, Ken, for the pointer to Faxzero!)  For an individual user, the benefit of delicious is definitely the portability of the bookmarks.  For our library, there could be great benefits for our public service staff where they are always running across new sites that would be helpful to co-workers.
