Thing #17

When I looked at the "apsu23things" Del.icio.us account, there were seven bookmarks and twenty-five tags.  I like that you can keep to date with what is posted on this account through the RSS feed.  By each of the bookmarks, there are tags.  These are basically keywords that help you narrow your search and find exactly what you are looking for.  Once you click on the site that has been bookmarked, you can see every comment posted under it.  I can see potential for this tool to be used in the classroom.  It would be a great way for students to follow a certain blog or find things related to a certain keyword.  Teachers can take advantage of these social bookmarking sites.  It is a great way to keep up with your specific keyword interests.  I definitely think Del.icio.us is an easy way to bookmark sites.  The thing that is cool about this site is that you can access your account from anywhere as opposed to just the computer you bookmarked them on.  That is a nice feature of Del.icio.us.  I think this tool could be useful.  For me personally, I don't have time to follow blogs and such so I probably won't be using this tool.  But for someone who follows blogs religiously, this is an excellent tool.
