Week 7 - Social bookmarking.
"Overwhelming" describes my initial reaction.

Delicious strikes me as a twee name - after all, the US don't add a country to their domain names.
So, get over that reaction, and then wonder what happens if the web page disappears? We have links to pages on our Online Reference library and the urls do change sometimes, requiring manual editing. If the web site goes, do the tags go too, or will I be directed to a 404?

Is this "manual" cataloguing any more useful than Google's mindless but comprehensive trawling?

Technorati looks helpful if searching for blogs, although once again Google offers a blog search.
The instructions are a little unclear. Step 2 mentions searching in keyword, OK. Results =192, then in Advanced with Language=English, results = 152.
However in step 4, nswpln2008 didn't return any results until I checked some comments and searched in the tag field instead.

Library thing looks like a fun place to check out other people's recommendations, but too much like work to set up for myself!

From a library point of view, opac and Library thing links would be beneficial.
