Thing 14
I must tell the truth. At first was was not impressed with del.icio.us AT ALL. I followed the prescribed steps of creating an account, checking out all of the how to stuff, and did my first search on a topic that had been heavily on my mind — young adult literature. Needless to say, I was appalled that the first three or so hits were adult explicit links. UGG!!! I certainly didn’t care to stumble on that, so I logged out and left if alone for a few days.
As I am going through my RSS reader I see a great many references to del.icio.us which is curious to me. One of the “experts” whose blog posts that I enjoy reading most LOVES del.icio.us. This gets me to thinking that I must have missed something, so I go back and try it again.
While I can’t say that I love del.icio.us like some folks seem to do, I will admit that it will be convenient when I have in the far 8th grade wing of my school needing a certain web link which I can’t remember and I won’t have to walk the 2 3/4 miles (yes, I have taken to exaggeration!) back to my office computer to find the link. Convenience is good, really good.
I am still working to like the organization and look of del.icio.us. Is it OK that I admit that when so many folks absolutely love it? I read in on RSS feed this week that there is another similar site for bookmarking. I may go there once next year’s budget and all of my end of the year tasks are neatly compiled and filed away. The way things are going right now that may be sometime in December.
