Tracking Tagging, folksonomies, del.icio.us & LibraryThing

The word Del.icio.us brought back memories of the monsterio delicio growing outside my mum's back door and the race with the possums to get the ripe fruit. Somehow the little midnight raiders always won.

What a convenient way to store and to have my favs on any computer that is connected to the Internet anywhere. I can see this really useful for those who use the Internet frequently. I loved looking at the CIA site and noting their info re Australia - very up to date except for the now defunct Dems. What a bonus for librarians at the reference desk to pool knowledge and link for others to share via their account - great way to save time and find not thought of new sources of information.

Technorati - The millions of blogs that are tracked by Technorati is mind blowing. The search I did with bookmobile was successful in getting hundreds of searches. I didn't have much success with nswpln2008.

LibraryThing is more my speed. This is a fantastic tool to share your best books and see how many others share your taste in reading. Interesting to read comments of what others think, sort of an online book club. I had to control myself and only select a few of the thousands I wanted to add. Beaut way to also quickly find the books you have missed reading.
