Session #3 Tagging, Folksonomies, & Technorati

I never knew why del.icio.us would be a good idea, but I'm glad that I learned today. It makes sense to be able to get to your bookmarks from different computers! Plus, I love the idea of being able to share useful links with other librarians so that we don't have to reinvent the wheel each time we start something new. I'm also really interested in being able to use tags to organize information.

I'm glad that you like de.iciou.us and want to share links with other librarians. That is wonderful.

Tags are a wonderful way to organize information. Some libraries are even allowing patrons to add their own tags to the OPAC.

Hasn't this been fun?!
Sure hope I have made good notes to help me recall all this "stuff" when we get home.
