#12 - Social Bookmarking with Del.icio.us

I watched the video on this essential and then read the document created by John Larkin. I was impressed by the step by step directions outlined by Mr. Larkin. However, when I went to the Delicious site, and clicked on the “Join Now” it took me to a yahoo sign in page – not part of Mr. Larkin’s direction or mentioned in the video. This was somewhat confusing since all the other portions of the course have been done with my Google account, but suddenly this one will be linked by yahoo. It was somewhat confusing. That aside, I do think the ability to house my searches in a place that will allow me access from any computer is great! No longer will I have to think, did I find that on my home computer, my work computer, my laptop or on one of the library computers; or was I using a family/friend’s computer. I can store the site and access it from anywhere. I’m looking forward to learning more about what Delicious can do (or I should say what I am capable of doing using Delicious).
