INTRODUCTION
I am a big fan of del.icio.us since the time I figured out
how to use it. at first it was a kind of weird though, because I had
no idea what tagging meant, then with time I became comfortable and
all that.
I am not going to bother writing another essay about how great a
social software tool it is once more, but I want to concentrate on
how I am using it and how I can use it better with the new tools
that we have in our hands this semester. I have two points here to
show you about my user habits using it.
The biggest thing between me and del.icio.us is I am just bookmarking
all my links on my repository (http://del.icio.us/ilteris/) I have
been a bookmark person on my whole life (god doesn't have an idea
what I mean by that). I effectively use it and forget the links I
have collected as my reward all the time. Del.icio.us is not an exception
here. More than not, I am scared to save my links because I know
it would give me that content feeling of saving/keeping it and I
would totally forget to look at it later. I know I can go back later
and try to search for the link on my del.icio.us page, but first
I need to remember what word I did tag it and second if you start
tagging too much, it makes you dizzy. |
