Thing #13 Del.icio.us

This was my first experience with delicious. I wish they would have had something like this when I was still in graduate school :) The possibilities for research and information sharing seem endless. Out of all of the exercises and applications, this one has seemed the most intimidating so far. On the surface, it seems to be fairly easy to grasp or manage but after playing around with it for a little while, you realize that there is just so much very cool stuff that you can do with it. The one Slacker website tutorial mention that it had just been taken over by yahoo. That, I suppose, could make it even more commonplace and easier to grasp...over time :)

As far as the library goes, I think that this could be a great reference tool. We have so many patrons and students that are studying the same topics and subjects. It may be beneficial to create popular subject tags. It would be nice to have some "ready-made" resources available.
