Previous two posts have been a bit long. Going to keep this one shorter. I’ve certainly had the experience of bookmarking a site in Firefox and losing track of the bookmark or not bothering because I had little faith in the organizing capacity of the software. So I’ve found del.icio.us to be promising. I like the “tags” and I like the idea of keeping track of things I find and being able to organize and access all the places I go (with apologies to Dr. Suess, who, at the very least, would have appreciated the bizarre spelling of the website’s name). Will try to subscribe to some tags and link up with some of my English compatriots at school and elsewhere.
Application idea: It occurs to me that I could tag articles in the Times or elsewhere, organize them by topic, and share them out with my students. For example, in my newspaper class, I could tag great examples of sports articles for students writing sports pieces for the paper.
