Because I have been using Library Thing for quite a while, I'm familiar with tagging, but I had never really explored Delicious. Since I already have a Yahoo account, I was able to simply extend that to Delicious and then add the link to my browser. I played around with genre fiction and librarian bookmarks, starting with some of those I had already marked and looking for new ones by searching related tags. My search didn’t really lead to too much that was new, but it would definitely be helpful when looking for information on less familiar topics. I am more likely to use social bookmarking sites than RSS feeds, because I can determine exactly how much material I want to receive. I also like the idea of accessing my bookmarks from any computer.
