Tagging

Okay, that was kind of interesting. I added all of the "library" websites that I visit on a regular basis to my Del.icio.us account, and gave them all "tags". It was cool to see just how many other people had already "tagged" these sites (lots of people had tagged the Hennepin County Library website - and no wonder!). The "tagging suggestions" were interesting as well ... kind of like making up your own subject headings (which is usually strictly verboten). This could be very useful if you are looking for other websites that could be of use to you when doing research in any given field - finding out what other places you could look. And I really like the idea of being able to access your "favourites" from any computer. Pretty good fun all round.
