Take a bite its Del.icio.us!

I have heard other people talk about del.icio.us, but I never got around to trying it. From what people were saying, I thought it was just a way to store your bookmarks in a web-based format. Easy access it great, but it didn't really spark my interest. I'm glad that this activity "forced" me to try it! It is so much more than just a bookmarking tool. I absolutely love the sharing feature. I just type in what tags I would use to look up info. and voila, I get a list of websites other people have saved on the same topics. (Some of the results were off the mark, but what do you expect when there is no controlled vocabulary.) Del.icio.us tells me how many people have saved this website and lets me read the person's comments on the site. Another helpful feature is the common tags for the website. These tags give me new ideas for keywords when I search online databases and even the catalog- that I might not thought of before. I think that del.icio.us can be a valuable reference resource.
