Thing Eleven!

11. Learn about tagging and del.icio.us.
After attending several sessions on social bookmarking sites at conferences, I established a del.icio.us account. Mainly I have used it for articles that I save to refer to later. My account is linked from this blog on the lower right side. Until 23 Things, I had not thought of it as a place to also store photos, and now have some from Flickr there.


Looking at some of the links to libraries using del.icio.us, I found some ideas. Being my cousin from San Mateo arrives in Minnesota today, I checked the San Mateo Library site first. I browsed it for awhile, and found it to be user-friendly. When I checked the del.icio.us links, I found that New Books were there. For the past few years, we have debated how to list new books on our website. Currently we send e-mail messages. The del.icio.us option is worth considering.

CHALLENGE - FURL

I learned about FURL at a conference session that I attended, but just signed up for an account today, so will soon be exploring that more.
