Week 9: Social bookmarking and Library 2.0

17. Play with delicious

Have read the very interesting arricle by Melissa L. Rethlefsen "Tags help make libraries del.icio.us: social bookmarking and tagging boost participation".

Liked the "Letting go of control" paragraph. Pretty much in line with what Jane said the other day at the EISCC Forum re: Encore.

Had a play with delicious, and liked what I saw when I looked at something of interest (Chris Patten). There were 37 "hits" but I didn't like all the blatant advertising associated with some of the entries.

One book mark was to the Wiki pedia entry for Chris Patten and another was to Amazon, advertising on of Patten's books.

I'm glad someone bookmarked the "Chris Patten Archive"!

Created a delicious account. How will I ever remember all of these passwords?
