Thing 4 - del.icio.us

(I know it looks like I skipped Things 2 & 3, but I didn't. They involved doing something, not posting about it...)

I really like Delicious and I am using it more and more. I like that I can access my bookmarks no matter what computer I'm on. Before I had different bookmarks on different computers and it was annoying. It was also a constant challenge to keep my bookmarks organized. I like that with Delicious I can give my saved sites tags that mean something to me. I like that I can easily sort my tags, and add on related tags. I find it very useful.

I have used Delicious to share resources. I actually started using Delicious because I was co-teaching a course and this was a way for me to share information I found on the web with my co-instructor that didn't involve e-mailing him. I still use it for that, and send him links. And he sends me links too. I definitely use it 95% of the time for just me, as an individual. But I think it is useful both individually and for sharing resources.

I think Delicious could definitely be used as the KU Library did - to help organize websites for users. It is much easier than setting up a webpage and trying to maintain it. And you could potentially open it up so that your users could contribute also.
