#13 Tagging, folksonomies & social bookmarking in Del.icio.us

The concept of tagging comes up again as it did in flickr and librarythings. Del.icio.us provides a method of bookmarking web pages and then categorising them with tags. The bookmarks can be accessed where ever you have computer access - very useful because most of us log onto different computers at home, work, and holiday etc.
There is also a social networking aspect to this. You can see how others have tagged similar links and find out about new websites that may be of interest.
I didn't choose to open an account at this stage. However, it could be useful.
