#13 de.light.ful del.icio.us????

I have lost some momentum with 2.0 so it's taken a whack of time today to get back in and walk the walk! I felt as if my brain fogged over and I was staring at del.icio.us without getting what it's all about. Then I had the very brilliant idea of creating an account and putting all the 2.0 tutorials and sites on it as a practice, ventured further and added some blogs I found, and then a couple of other web pages I check out fairly regularly. And after reading The Several Habits of Wildly Succesful del.icio.us Users I tagged that as well! I found myself getting better with tagging and with having a sticky at other people's favourites. (I liked Habit Five - Stalk Other Users!)

This will be another thing to work on. Editing tags, adding and deleting urls, and, hopefully, finding the best and most effective way to make use of del.icio.us. I like that I can access it from any browser anywhere, as opposed to the bookmarks I have at home and at work, and I am pleased that I am grasping the full stop no space principle! Which was, surprise surprise, not all that easy!!

I liked the example of having some del.icio.us favourites as a reference tool at the library, so people could find a site quickly. I can imagine, for example, saving appropriate sites as aids for a school project that you may get asked for information on by most of the students - individually! (Or, of course, their Mums!)

My del.icio.us account can be accessed through the blog title. And I've made a del.icio.us network badge (see left); not that I've quite gotten around to an actual network yet!!
