Thing #11 was another fun thing because it is just another way of searching for information you are interested in and managing the information that you find.
I can definitely see the potential of this tool for research assistance. Instead of maintaining files of information you might need, you can bookmark the information and go back to it later as needed. This eliminates tedious copying and filing.
You can add all the tags you want as a cross reference. Del.icio.us makes it possible to access this information from anywhere. You do not need to bring all your files along for research. You can access it from any computer.
I am not sure how our library could take advantage of tagging and del.icio.us.
It looks as if other libraries have used it to bookmark articles that they feel would be of interest to the patrons in their library.
I did have trouble with tagging or labeling in our blog. It turns out my computer was blocking it. Once I figured out how to remove that block, it worked just fine.
