#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.

#11LibraryThing

I really like this site and I am tempted to stay here, feeding in more and more books and seeing what others are reading. I had a look at the groups but chose not to become involved. I need to move on and finish my 23 things.

#9 Locating blogs

Bloglines Search Tool is easy to use. I found lots of blogs on libraries when I used "libraries" as a search term for feeds.
Feedster is changing and currently unavailable.
Topic.net had news and media outlet RSS feeds.
Google Blog Search was simple to use - once again I fed in libraries.

#8 RSS and Newsreaders

I have set up my own Bloglines newsreader account at http://www.bloglines.com/public/katew
