Thing 14: Bookmarking With Delicious
I had already set up an account on the Delicious Website while doing Thing 13. My user name is Tabpsalmist1954. I bookmarked my scrapbooking sites for exploration by the public. I am not completely comfortable with having complete strangers looking at all my files. One thing that I did when I signed up was to bookmark all the sites that I had in my favorites. As I looked over the sites (and there are over 200 of them!) I began to delete those that I haven't used in over a year. Some I did not want to make public. I have to admit that the social bookmarking is not something I feel confident or comfortable with. I do see that this might be very useful for a class that wanted to explore a topic on the internet to learn about the many sites that connect to a topic. Delicious as a tool doesn't seem that useful. It seemed a bit overwhelming to me. I shall have to study it a little more and determine how I might be able to use it to my advantage. But for now... I don't really care for it. Sorry to say... (:-(

When tagging your bookmarks, think about the tags that would be most appropriate. For example in the sites you now have marked, I would definitely use "scrapbooking" as one of the tags. Depending on the the site, you may also want to add additional tags such as "supplies" or "tutorials", etc.
ReplyDeleteDon't give up on social bookmarking - maybe revisit in a week or two because I think you will find it really useful. Remember you can access all of your Delicious bookmarks from any computer - not just the one you saved it on.
