Thing 11. Tagging and Del.icio.us

Del.icio.us is obviously a wonderful resource for people who are using multiple computers. It is nice having your bookmarks accessible on every computer you may be working. I can see that this may be useful for research purposes providing the sites are tagged in ways our library patrons are able to find them. For example, I added a Norwegian newspaper to my list and tagged it Norway news. There are 536 other people who have tagged this site and none of them did it the same way I did. Tags that make perfect sense to me may not make sense to other people at all.
