on to social bookmarking...set up a delicious account...i bookmark stuff quite frequently when i see a page i think i'll want to revisit...i can see it would be handy if like me you use more than one machine, though it’s a pity there's no folder structure to save on scrolling through a lot of pages. i think I'd only use it as a back-up list to my 'real' bookmarks for that reason.
i liked the way you can look at other people’s site listings…just for the craic I searched for a few people I follow on twitter (getting ahead of myself) on it and found they had set up pages - it was cool to see what sites they recommend all in one list. From that I ended up clicking down through loads of subject tags, like a subject portal for urls.
it has obvious uses for the teacher/student thing though lecturers or teachers might be more inclined to use something like moodle to recommend sites to their students as it’s a more defined ‘space’ for that kind of interaction. maybe.

ReplyDeleteI had a couple of vanishing posts as well - very annoying. It was ironic that blogger couldn't post to their own help blog to let people know what was going on - and their twitter messages weren't too enlightening either.
Dear Unstarted - yes Delicious is very basic. Having to scroll down the list is crazy. Scroll Scroll Scroll. Our natural instincts as librarains is to organise into folders and subcatalogues. Just not sophisticated enough for us. Handy though as a back up - dead right.
