del.icio.us

Seeing as though I volunteered to investigate how central library can use del.icio.us as a reference tool I thought I had better start a blog so you can all monitor my progress.

Although I have been using del.icio.us for some time I have never really had a good opportunity to have a wee play with it. This project lets me explore and, what's more, lets me get paid for that exploration!

My first discovery for the day: notes. I know this may seem rather obvious but the notes field displays in your list on the site and you can display them in your sidebar by hovering over the little note icon. Yay, this is quite useful - now you can actually describe your bookmark without putting too much information in the tag.

If you would like to watch my links growing then add me to your network (DU.lib.gopher). If you don't use del.icio.us then go here to find out more information or sign up. What is even better - you can access your bookmarks from any computer!
