Week Six, Assignment #13

#13: Explore Del.icio.us. Watch the Santa Cruz Public Library tutorial. Check the SJLibraryLearning2 account. Set up my own account.

I watched the Del.icio.us tutorial and checked the bookmarks of the SJLibraryLearning2 account.

I've had a Del.icio.us account for several years under a different sign-in name than I'm using for this project. My library supervisor often posts bookmarks there that I find useful to share. The social bookmarking site is nice because it lets me find my favorite bookmarks no matter what computer I'm using.

There was a different social bookmarking site that I used in 2004 when I took an online Dreamweaver course through someone based at the University of Georgia, who was teaching through the auspices of Northern Virginia Community College. I forget his name and what bookmarking site he had us using. I'm afraid that information died when my computer's motherboard crashed. I know it wasn't one of the popular ones often posted on an online article that makes it so easy to bookmark something. I went to the SJLibraryLearning2 account and clicked on the tags for socialbookmarking and for bookmarking, but I didn't see anything that struck a chord of recognition.

I've created another account on Del.icio.us with the name joanneLMT2 so I could make a badge with the name I'm using on this blog.
