Folksonomies - fancy word for categorising things

Have been looking at Del.icio.us and have rediscovered my account which I started long ago and its meagre 2 bookmarks. Have added 2 more (wow!! - I'll try not to go overboard!) but will definitely be adding more when I get time. Its actually a really good concept. I love the De.licio.us page for Ask Now - it's excellent for finding those elusive websites to fit a client's question, either during an AskNow session or on the phone or desk. I also like the tag cloud - easier to see a lot of tags at once. Its good to see other libraries using it as a way to recommend good websites to their patrons.


Had a quick look through Technorati - I can see it will be a first port of call when looking for blogs on particular subjects. Really want to get on to Library Thing tho....

Have finally joined Library Thing .... its great! Noosa Library's Library Thing is impressive - so many book clubs! And providing multiple copies for them all is amazing. I'll be adding lots more to mine but i have to say i don't own them all...they're mainly ones I've read - I don't buy many books. Or is that a bad thing...oooh I'm not sure....everyone seems to add books on their shelves at home...I wish i could buy so many books!
