If you aren't already familiar with the social bookmarking Web 2.0 tool del.icio.us, I highly recommend you check it out. With a del.icio.us account you can bookmark Websites and access your bookmarks from any computer. This is great for me because I work on a lot of different computers and my del.icio.us account allows me to find my Websites wherever I am. I can also share my sites with students and teachers, while still keeping some sites private. Finally, I can also look at and follow other people's del.icio.us Websites which often leads me to great Websites that I would never have found on my own. The Library and Technology department in Brookline is also working on a system-wide del.icio.us Website. If you want to learn more, go to http://del.icio.us and/or watch the screencast below which shows you how to get started.

Hi Elizabeth,
I am Eduardo Peirano and we are friends in Ning's Library 2.0 community.
I think that Del.icio.us is one of the most useful Web 2.0 tools. It facilitates:
- saving online your bookmarks
- promoting your bookmarks
- finding bookmarks from other users (they are searching for relevant sites for you)
- networking with other users who are in your network
My post
Eduardo Peirano :: Weblog :: Using Del.icio.us in Education includes several useful links. This is one of my popular posts in Del.cio.us.
By the way, I have added you to my Del.icio.us network. I am emapey in Del.icio.us.
I hope my comments support your views about Del.icio.us
Eduardo
I recently signed up for del.icio.us but am still not sure how to utilize it for social networking. Any advice?
Donna,
You might want to look at my post on Networking with Delicious for more information about using delicious as a social network:http://edtechpower.blogspot.com/2008/02/networking-with-delicious.html Or, if you are really looking for a social tagging space try Diigo. I wrote about it here: http://edtechpower.blogspot.com/2008/03/one-for-tuesday-3-25-2008.html
