Folksonomies & Tagging

I had never used Del.icio.us before until this online program started and I am finding it extremely useful!
It’s an organised way of setting up your favourite tags into folders and sharing them with my friends or colleagues that belong to my Del.icio.us network.
This program would be beneficial for libraries, especially when people move departments it would help to use their colleague’s useful websites.
I think Del.icio.us would be a valuable tool for research as students could discover new websites by browsing other students or even teachers tags.

RSS Feeds

I really liked how easy it is to subscribe to an RSS

feed and how quickly you can be updated on the all

the latest information that interests you.
The sites I picked were the Powerhouse Museum, Our Brisbane, SBS World News, Slq blogs and chocolate-cioccolata the home of chocolate.

Social Networks

I created a Facebook account just before my high school reunion. I found it really easy to find all of my old school friends before the event.
Now I can post updates without having to email everyone individually.
