I have spent many hours exploring Del.icio.us, but haven't found it living up to all of the hype that came with it. Sure, it is a great resource for finding a lot of the same information in one place, but then again, so is Google! The thing that drives me the most insane is the tagging....I searched for everything in a "Web 2.0" tag, and found everything from Sketchpad to Digg to Web 2.0 Suicide Machine to bildu.net: Zure laster-markak gorde, elkarbanatu eta etiketatu, whatever the heck that means!
While I can see potential for tagging and social bookmarking, the reign is too wide right now for me. I need a little more definition of the tag and some filters in place to more carefully regulate what goes into one bookmark. I guess what I'm saying is that the tags are not specific enough for me and if I were gutsy enough to set up one, it would be very specific to whatever research topic I was working on in the library or something of specific interest to me.
All in all, Del.icio.us it not so delicious, but that's just my opinion. Worth absolutely nothing....

"Blogstration" The feeling you get when you know something must be really cool and it's just not working for you.
ReplyDelete"Blogcitement" The feeling you get when everything "clicks" and you decide blogging is waaaay cool.
Funny thing. I looked those up just to be sure they weren't real words with some weird meaning. They've been used already. The definitions I found are just a little different. Mine would be the second entry in Webster's, I guess. lol
