WEEK 6: Tagging and Del.icio.us (#13 Thing)

Tagging is an open and informal method of categorizing that allows users to associate keywords with online content - I tag each post, but call them "labels." To me, it is key word searching.

• LibraryThing describes itself as a new site for book lovers. It helps you create a library-quality catalog of your books. And because everyone catalogs online, they also catalog together. LibraryThing connects people based on the books they share. I took the tour. OK, yes it it very cool. I created y own library starter set of recently read books. The site also has gift items available at CafePress.

Del.icio.us will help me organize my favorite urls.

• I watched the Otter Group Del.icio.us tutorial
• Also read Us.ef.ul: A beginners guide to Del.icio.us and started a Del.icio.us account.
• I added a network badge to my blog.
