Week 6 Homework Question: Testing del.icio.us (13 April 2005)

Create an account (it's free) on del.icio.us, the social bookmarking system.

Tag some web pages using the bookmarklets provided, and then explore the system a bit. Write about your experiences. What did you like about it? What didn't you like? What uses could you imagine for this in your day-to-day responsibilities?

"I can post bookmarks but I can’t figure out how to search for other bookmarks that are of interest to me."

Denise, i think you can search by manualy adding the tag at the end of the URL:

http://del.icio.us/tag/firefox - to search for firefox

http://del.icio.us/tag/tea - for tea

http://del.icio.us/tag/"insert tag here"
