#13: Tagging and del.icio.us

Tagging and Bookmarking are great ideas for those who want to search for something and not constantly repeat their actions. Particular sites and forums can be bookmarked for use later on. Tagging works with one just one word. You can choose a word that's pretty close to the idea of a page, and when you click on that word, you also get many other pages in relation. Also, you can see other's ideas of sites even before you enter them. You can read their comments and then judge for yourself.

I found many different things while exploring these two ideas. I found more sites I never knew existed that can help with learning. One such site that I was particularly interested in was ZOHO Planner (http://planner.zoho.com/jsp/home.jsp?targetURL=%2Flogin.do) I came across this site when searching for online learning tools. This is an office online! You can do everything here...chat, have conferences, calendars, you can organize things, and you can even create documents to use later on, sort of like using a WORD document.

Clicking around and reading different stories and blogs can really teach you a lot of things. I enjoyed every minute of it. I think bookmarking and tagging is very useful. It can be used for both research and just an easy way of accessing previously found sites. If used for research, someone could find one word (tagging) and be sent to many different places on the Internet. They can view people's thoughts about that site as well. If used for fun, creating an account and saving sites (bookmarking), someone could access their information from wherever they are. Bookmarking and Tagging are great!
