Folksonomies & Tagging

Delicious
Yes yes yes, what a great idea
I am studying again next semester and how helpful it will be when finding information for assigments to be able to tag all them sites I seem to a accumulate and then foget what information was in them.

Technorati
I have had a look at Technorati, did the search for bookmobile and got 196 results and 48 results for the advanced Tag search.
I was not that impressed with Technorati the page seemed to busy.

LibraryThing
I like the idea for LibraryThing especially for book clubs,
I have put five books on my catalogue and tagged them, if anyone is interested, but I dont think it will be something I would use on a regular basis.

RSS Links

What did I learn about RSS.
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a tool useful for saving or retaining updated information on websites that you frequently visit or websites that are your favorite.
I can see how it could be useful for a staff intranet, we could have the latest new in book releases, or updates for OPAL training.
I can also see how It can be used as an advertising or marketing tool for the library we could send subscribers information on upcoming events that the library are holding.
I am not a fan of RSS though, it would be something else that I would have to remember to look at in my free time and I feel I spend enough time on the computer at work.
Below are the links to the RSS's that I chose.
