TheCorey's Thought #12 - Thing #14: Delicious

Normally I try to come up with a cute, clever title for my blog entry. This time I had nothing, which was a good thing this time. First off, I'm glad they redid Delicious without the odd little periods in the middle of the word. Much easier for us 1.0 folks upgrading to a 2.0 world. Second, this is definetly a "good thing". I'm rather ambivalent about the "social" aspects of Web 2.0, but I do see a lot of potential in Delicious. At the Lincoln City Libraries, we have a "webliography" of useful web sites arranged in an old Yahoo-style category format. It's useful if you can figure out which category you need. The tagging aspect of Delicious would make our webliography, a good thing, into an even better thing. I can also see it as being potentially helpful in my personal life, though I have to admit I'm still doing okay with bookmarking so far. I guess I just don't have that many websites I feel I want to or need to visit on a regular (or semi-regular) basis. I found Delicious to ba straightforward, fairly intuitive, minimally cluttered and very useful. I get why this one is so popular.
