Thing 12 - Tagging

"Del.icio.us is a social bookmarking manager that allows you to bookmark a Web page and add tags to categorize your bookmarks. Tags can be used in Del.icio.us to organize your bookmarks--and let others know what you have bookmarked."

THAT's CRAZYNESSSS...I believe I had to read that 3 times before I THOUGHT I was starting to understand it....hehehe :D or maybe i'm just slow

My definitions for Tag and Bookmark:

TAG: Categorize/List
BOOKMARK: Adding/Faorites

Del.icio.us is a social "addingfavorite" manager that allows you to "add" a Web page and to "cateogrize/label" your "favorites". Labeling can be used in Deli.icio.us to organize your "FAVES" and let others know what you have "added" as your faves.

---beginning to make more sense eh? :D

I'm smiling....

I just finished adding my account in Del.icio.us and adding in my bookmarks and tags...I'll have to say...after a few stumbles...pretty easy....I actually LIKE it...

Its a great THING to learn...why?? because remember the times when you were at a friends house or some strangers house and they were accessing the web AND told you about this absolutely crazy COOL website..and you just didn't have a Paper NOR Pen handy??? WEll....access your account in delicious and add that WEBSITE to your bookmark....easy right??

And And And ANd And...remember those times when you were doing a research paper and you found a REALLY cool website but you didn't have a paper to write down the url and now your a$$ is stuck googling it?? I don't know about you but I WAS-STILL-UNTIL-NOW clicking on that back arrow bc I kept getting to wrong website. But we're given a great solution....type in delicious(www.delicious.com) and VOILA....you have all your FAVES...and if you can't remember what the website was called....type in your tag(cool/neat/easy..etc) and AGAIN..you get your cool website that you forgot....how easy is that???!

I THINK...i THINK....I'm starting to actually appreciate this 16 THings... :)

Hey also remember...the fun part? You can threaten your friends by saying that you'll bookmark their bookmark to your personal bookmark tag list if they don't bookmark you to their tag list of "doing what nancy wants" tag...gotcha? (Hint: Go back to my definition)....
