Thing 11, Tagging and Del.icio.us

My library uses Ma.gnolia for sharing recommended websites. We tag sites with program areas, and our library webpage has links to the our Ma.gnolia page, broken down by program area. By using one account, this social bookmarking allows our team of librarians to pool our favorite sites. Take a look at our tags and bookmarks.

I noticed that San Mateo Public Library tages its del.icio.us entries by Dewey range. That's a very structured approach which I preferred to some of the apparently haphazard tagging structures I saw elsewhere.

I prefer the look of ma.gnolia. It allows for annotations/descriptions of the sites, and the comments are visible without having to click here, click there like you do in del.icio.us.
