Assignment for Thursday, Jan. 26: Tagging and Folksonomies

Sign up for Del.icio.us, a social bookmarking service, and begin to tag the research for your Podcast topic to your own tag. When your Podcast text is completed, all of the resources that you used should appear under this tag, which will serve as a kind of bibliography of web-based resources. If you would like to try another, similar resource like Furl or Spurl, that's fine. You will find several alternatives in our Notebook. Of course, you should explore Del.icio.us for all of the things that you can do with it.
