Thing 13: Tagging, folksomonies & social bookmarking in Del.icio.us

I viewed the 12 minute Del.icio.u.s tutorial and found the other two discovery resources helpful too. For this discovery exercise, we were asked to take a look at Del.icio.us and learn about this popular bookmarking tool. I took a look around Del.icio.us using the L2LCPL account. I clicked on the bookmarks and saw the different tags and comments. Can I see the potential of this tool for research assistance? Or just as an easy way to create bookmarks that can be accessed from anywhere? I would say the answer is yes to both questions. I decided to try the optional exercise. So, I created a Del.icio.u.s account because I wanted to bookmark a few bookmarks that I saw when I was using the L2LCPL account.
