Again really liked the idea behind del.icio.us - steep learning curve with this one. Found out about folksonomy( my interpretation folks adding their own individual name to items, sites, photos etc)users add tags online to items such as images (Flickr), videos, bookmarks and text.
Del.icio.us is a tagging system for URLs and offers the user the ability to store and retrieve their own bookmarks from any computer and also to tag each bookmark - you categorize according to how you want to remember them.This also allows you to sort them especially if you have 100's of favourites. Del.icio.us is a public site the other beauty is that you can share bookmarks with others by their tags. I do see the social sharing aspect of this but because of the free form categorizing if you're looking at other peoples tags you could end up with alot of irrelevant info maybe this is good gives you more ideas. could utilize it as a more structured tool to share a universal website nominate the del.icio.us site and get students teachers etc to add and view this just like PLCMCL2 have!
Viewed the PLCMCL2 del.icio.us website will probably go back there if I need further help with my journey.
I really think that del.icio.us could be quite useful for me and have created my own account so that my favourites/bookmarks are portable!
