Thing 13

Share your thoughts about tagging. Is tagging a useful way to organize your digital resources and why? What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages? What is important to think about before assigning tags to bookmarks or other Internet content?


Tagging seems like a real time-saver. So many times I have bookmarked a site and spend too much time looking for it in my bookmarks. This system seems much more efficient since the internet is so huge. One must be careful what is tagged and how it is tagged because the Delicious site is public. I wouldn't want an inappropriate site attributed to me That's why it's important to investigate sites thoroughly before putting them out there.

I think using the Delicious site myself will make me feel less overwhelmed. There's nothing like experience to make a person more comfortable with a process. I hope this will be useful to me in finding sites for me to use and share.
