Week 5 – Social bookmarking and tagging

Week 5 covered social bookmarking and tagging.  I looked at the library’s account on del.icio.us.   I then set up my own account and uploaded the bookmarks from my PC.  My first task is to weed those bookmarks as there were 331 uploaded.  This may take some time.

I will experiment with tagging new websites as I come across them at work.  I’m not sure about using it at home as I use AOL’s browser.  I will see if I can get it to work otherwise I might change the browser at home to either Internet Explorer or Firefox (any recommendations?).  I’ll report on how I get on in one of the reflection weeks.
