This document discusses the basics of social bookmarking and tagging using the website Delicious, including: 1) Delicious allows users to save bookmarks online and tag them with keywords, making it easier to organize and share bookmarks across computers. 2) Tags are keywords that users can apply to bookmarks to categorize them. Websites and images uploaded to sites like Flickr can also be tagged. 3) By tagging bookmarks on Delicious, users can build bibliographies, share resources with others using common tags, and subscribe to their friends' tags on favorite topics.

23. del.icio.us in your i-life Create working bibliographies for projects by ensuring they share a common tag. Build lists of resources with fellow students/ teachers(decide on common tags first). Create a network with friends or fellow club members with whom you share an interest. Subscribe to tags of favorite topics. Add del.icio.us to your Facebook profile Add a linkroll or tag cloud to your personal blog or one you’ve made for a club.

Spend a few minutes planning how you’ll tag so that your tags are consistent ( remember – no spaces within tags!) Plural vs singular Teacher’s names / course names Clean up your tags periodically using the delete and rename tag functions
