Week 8: Tagging etc

This was an interesting topic, but one that I found difficult. I have often seen the delicious symbol about and around but did not know what it refered to - although I do now!! Social bookmarking and tagging is quite useful and I can definitely see potential for it as a way to share research done on the internet.

I have often found it frustrating when you finally set up your bookmarks on a computer and the only way to use them on another computer is to export and import them. Delicious seems like a much more practical and useful way of doing this.

The idea of then sharing those bookmarks and tags is great, although only within a 'network' with exactly the same interests etc, as otherwise it would become unwieldy and irrelevant.

It is a very good way of sharing knowledge and making it specific to a project or course.
