Thing 13

In this lesson I have been reading about social bookmarking. There are lots of new terms like "folksonomy" and "tagging", but I am excited about the prospect of really putting this to use. I used to email myself a website if I found a good one at work so that I could go on it when I got home. Now, with Delicious, I will have my websites available to me on any computer that is connected to the web. Another aspect of this is the fact that I would save a website if I felt it was really good, but would often forget about it as it was merely one of many in long list of favorites, categorized in a very general way depending on the folder it was in. Now, with tagging, I can search for a specific tag and all the sites that apply will pop up.
