Joined Del.icio.us - had heard talk about it previously but never had the inclination to use it. I exported all my bookmarks to my new account - I can definitely see why this is easier than trying to transfer favourite from PC to PC and makes sharing anything interesting quite easy.
I did however find the website itself difficult to focus on and read easily - it is rather pale and generic looking. Have put nearly all my bookmarks to private as I joined from home and as much as I love and trust you all, I'm not quite ready to share everything...
We have a list of eResources available from our web catalogue, but I imagine if the library did not have this function, a website like Del.icio.us would definitely come in handy by listing relevant websites in one easy to access place. The notes field under the web address title is handy for adding further clarification to the link.
I have looked at Library Thing previously and at the time thought it was a fabulous idea - the only thing is, I think a lot of things are fabulous, and as you know from my previous blogs, quickly fall out of love (or is it lust?) with these things. I can see if you're a dedicated 2.0 nut you may use it regularly and keep it updated and relevant, but for me I just don't go there enough...
Would be fantastic for smaller libraries though, or as a way to create booklists for different genres etc. I'm always in awe of the new tools people come up with.
