Thing 10 continued

Yes, I too wanted to explore delicious since I've heard it bandied about since forever. I established an account on one computer and happily found my delicious bookmarks when I went to another. Very handy especially since I do travel and use multiple computers.
I looked at Lansing Public's bookmarks and thought we too could use delicious to organize our public library bookmarks. The only drawback being that reference librarians can go wild adding bookmarks and then there's just too much to go through. I know, I know, the tags are there to keep it organized but I'm still more comfortable looking through fewer well selected bookmarks than 100's. I'd rather just search for a website that satisfies a patron's needs than go through a co-worker's delicious tags but of course if it was my delicious list, then I'd know what was there was eminently helpful. So that means that I will make my own great reference list with great tags and then sign into delicious every time I am on a public service desk. That is, of course, possible and maybe it'll happen.
I'm glad to have been pushed by 23 things into exploring delicious.
I haven't yet seen the value of looking into other people's great bookmark collection but I know I can do it and will if the situation calls for it.

    A perfect recipe... confidence with a dash of doubt for that extra special spicy note!

    You're doing GREAT, keep up the good work!
