Delightfully Del.icio.us

I looked at this site very skeptically to begin with. Did I really want to get onto another site with random people and their bookmarks? How was this much different than using another search engine? And how could this possibly help me in a library? Turns out, I found some good information on a number of novels that I am prepping to use in my reading classes next year. So my first experience was positive. Perhaps this could be used to collaborate with people across the country. I can see some narrower uses among people within a class doing research or preparing an extensive project.I like the idea of the tags organizing my bookmarks -- it is difficult to keep it all organized sometimes. I also tend to forget what my organizing system is, so this will be helpful. I am having a hard time seeing much use for it for the average middle school student. Overall, I will definitely use it for my personal searches.I'm not sure I see many applications for my students.
