Week 6, Thing 13

No wonder they call it "Delicious," it's amazing!  I have heard the name of the website, never fully understanding what it was.  And now, I am addicted.  Last week I began exploring the website in order to try and work ahead for class, except I have become addicted to delicious.com and can't pull myself away!

Much to my surprise, I was able to import all of my Internet Explorer bookmarks at work.  As a children's librarian, I am constantly saving websites and blogs for craft ideas, book lists, resources for ordering materials, and programming ideas.  I spent hours organizing and tagging these websites on delicious.com.

The searching feature is wonderful.  Google has been my go-to for quite some time, however, Delicious.com offers something different.  Searching other people's bookmarks allowed me to see websites that others felt were important enough to save.  Through searching, I must have imported over 20 new websites on my account.

My goal is to posting more comments on my classmates blogs, thus I created a tag through delicious.com so I can easily access them.

Thanks to delicious.com, I can now access important websites for work through my home computer.  In the future I'm hoping to work from home for ordering materials and planning storytimes and programs when I have children.  Delicious.com makes this concept feasible.

All types of libraries can benefit from utilizing delicious.com. Through tagging important websites, time will be saved in the research process if the first few steps have already been taken.
