taggin thy name is delicious

hmm i think this video would have been better if i could have made it full screen. it was hard to see so it was little hard to follow this that and her voice was putting me to sleep.http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid707392470/bctid686986217



hmm this is frustrating. i opened this page http://www.beelerspace.com/index.php?p=890 and i was reading then i clicked on a link in it and now i cannot read the page. it says my server will not allow it or something. that is a shame. it was easy to read and follow. okay i tired to open it on a different computer and did not click on any of the links like i did last time and i got to read the whole page. very useful. when i have time i shall go back and follow its instructions to the tee.




okay i'll try the next one. http://www.slackermanager.com/2005/12/the_several_hab.html well this blog/site was very informative but it was like the title said for folks who are using delicious already. but it was clear instructions.



i'll try that podcast again maybe it will help. no still fuzzy and small and hard to follow.


well i went to the other library's delicious account http://del.icio.us/PLCMCL2/ and clicked on some of the things that were there. it was nice to see that i am familiar with the technology, like tags and tag clouds, tag links. i have used them all just did not know the names of what i was using.





hmm i clicked on a couple of the things listed. i guess those are the bookmarks. then i clicked on the pink thing saying how many folks saved that site. that showed me a tag cloud and a listed of folks who saved it. i am looking for the comments. i am pretty sure the words besides the users' names are the tags they used to save the site. hmm i see user notes. maybe that is it. i think so sounds like comments to me.





this would be a tremendous help in research assistance. you just type in keywords/tags and you could find all sorts of resources depending on what site you were on. the all consuming site http://allconsuming.net/ probably would be good because it lists all sorts of media not just books or websites. i might get me an account there. who am i kidding i shall probably sign up for everything and use it whenever i recall i signed up for it.





i love the fact that you can access your bookmarks from anywhere although you can do that with yahoo and other web based email that gives you a page as well soooooo that is not too thrilling or new.



the being able to find things of interest quickly is what i like the best. and i would love for every library to have a tagging system . that would be one rss feed i would actually look at and check regularly.



okay i am going going to go sign up for everything and move on to thing number 14.

PS. i don't know if these links will work but they are the same ones on week 6
