Week 8 Del.icio.us

I've set up my account and had a bit of a look around this service. It is very useful having the ability to look at your bookmarks on any computer. I also like the ability to create own tags and see what other people consider the best synopsis of what a text etc. is about. Tag clouds are favourite in providing a visual cue to scope and relevance. I imagine the networking of particular groups of bookmarks on particular subjects to interested parties could prove very useful. For example a group of people wanting to travel could share a cache of helpful websites or in libraries if students are undertaking a particular project. Again maintaining these services takes time/effort and would require the dedication of resources (time/personnel) to keep the service effective.
