Week 6: Del.icio.us & Technorati

I tried to learn about del.icio.us this week, but when I signed up they wanted me to install buttons that are already on our toolbar, so I quit at that point. However, I've used del.icio.us in the past, albeit a very long time ago, so I kind of have an idea of what it's about. It's used for organizing one's bookmarks and favorites. For example, if you bookmarked a lot of articles or something like that, you can assign keywords to the article to make it easier to find next time (at least, this is my understanding of it, and I could be partly, if not completely, wrong about this). I could probably use this to organize the crafts ideas that I find online and arrange them according to a bunch of different subject headings. In a way, sites like this are turning us all into librarians of some sort or another.

I claimed my blog in Technorati. That's all I have to say about that.
