Thing 11: Tagging and Delicious

So, I've already been using labels on these posts -- as a good cataloger should. As a cataloger, however, I find that random tags can be a problem because you don't know which term people are using. I signed up for Delicious a few months ago. Plugging slowly away... I haven't used it since, but I guess once I got used to it it would be helpful. There is so much stuff out there, though, and it's a big time drain once you get sucked in exploring various tags. The Menasha moving tag cloud is fun to look at, but hard to use. It doesn't seem to be related to Delicious, though. I can see using Delicious to keep track of recommended web sites, but I don't see where any of these libraries have a link from their web pages. I can see using this for research. It's easy to find many articles on a topic using the tags, you just have to be careful of the source. BYW, Yahoo Avatars seem to have disappeared from all the blogs. I wonder if it's a Blogger glitch or a Yahoo problem.
