I'm sure many of us will be grateful to Frances for this clear
explanation! See, folks - you learn the handiest things on LDHEN!! Who's
up for some tagging and sharing - with comments/reviews of links too
maybe?

OK John, sites like del.icio.us digg furl etc. are what is called social
bookmarking sites. This means you can have your bookmarks online (and
see them from wherever you are ) and share them with others. So you can
see my bookmarks (not the shopping ones of course) at
http://del.icio.us/francesbell .
If you get social and either see what tags others are using, or agree a
tag, you can collaboratively tag and share what you have found.
So for example, if you look at this tag knowandnetwork (related to a
current research project), you'll see what has been tagged as
knowandnetwork see
http://del.icio.us/search/?fr=del_icio_us&p=knowandnetwork&type=all, and
also who else is tagging the same sites.
So if you think about it, it's similar to people sharing links through
this list server EXCEPT you know where they are afterwards, and the list
can be updated in the future.
Here is an example of one I link for students from Blackboard,
http://del.icio.us/francesbell/OSSI-module. I can add new resources
with this tag in del.icio.us and the link from BB is automatically
updated.
If you are really keen, you can look up the theory of this - it's called
a folksonomy - here

Well you did ask!! It's Web 2.0 and will be coming to a cinema near you
soon ;-)
Hi Frances - this sounds like it might be a very good idea ... but for
the sake of us non-webheads, are you prepared to go a little further in
explaining what all this actually entails .. ummm, like 'tag' and
'del.icio.us' and how to 'point', and then how others will find ... if
not, thanks for the tip anyway, but perhaps someone else might help out
those of us who are unfamiliar with these terms and ideas?!

Now please ignore me if I am out of sync with you but here is a
suggestion from a 'webhead'. If you agreed on a tag like, say,
LDHEN-studyskills, you could all tag these resources on, say,
del.icio.us and then point to that tag to find 'the wisdom of the
crowd'. I do this for my student resources in a topic area.
