This week the 2.0 assignment was to explore different types of tags. Now I've always been a very organized person, so I was very curious to see how other people organize their "stuff." It was also interesting to see what types of things they wanted to cling on to and organize. I particularly liked Del.icio.us.com. The tags were easy to follow and there was a wide-range of topics to explore. I spent some time looking at the tags that came up when I searched the term "library." One tag took me to DeliciousMonster.com. That site made me wish I had more time to organize my "stuff" online.
My favorite tag on Del.icio.us was a tag titled "Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki." I could tell that the mind that organized this tag was a VERY serious librarian. There were several offerings here that made me stop and consider and then take notes.
I only have two complaints about tagging. First, I didn't even know this existed until this week--which makes me feel even more internet illiterate than I did before. Second, not everyone organizes like I do--and they should! Third, I felt like I was peeking into the workings of some people's minds when I got to see what they considered noteworthy and how they organized their "stuff."
