Weeks 6& 7-Tagging, Folksonomies & Technorati

#13. Learn about tagging and discover a Del.icio.us (a social bookmaking site)

Like Flickr and LibraryThing , Del.icio.us allows users to take advantage of tagging(an open and informed method of categorizing that allows users to associate keywords with online content-webpages, pictures ,posts)
I consider Del.icio.us a powerful tool which can be used to keep links to your favorite articles , blogs and discover useful information.You can store your bookmarks online ,add more bookmarks...it is a really neat collections of my favorites and everyone's else.
Here ,http://del.icio.us/sun20, you can see that I bookmarked all kind of things that I am interested in ,I haven't finished yet..but I will be back.The good thing is that now I know about http://del.icio.us/
