Delicious Wrap-up
I found the delicious account to be very useful when gathering information for different projects and research assignments. For example, for the term project I was able to keep all the sites I found for Apple organized by tagging under the same key words. By tagging, it allows you to find the sites immediately without going through the hassle of searching every site you found. Also, it gives you access to other peoples’ accounts so you can see what sites they are tagging. Another interesting aspect of delicious is that you see the most popular sites as well as the most recent. Also, the site includes a search bar giving you the ability to see what others tagged for the topic you are researching. Overall, delicious includes many features that make gathering research very easy and getting information accessible.
As a group, we found sites both in delicious as well as from outside sources such as Google News, New York Times Website, and the Apple Insider. We were able to keep track of all the latest news on Apple technology. We did not feel that it was right to take tags from other users, so we found our own. Also, we wanted to make sure that we each read and understood each site that we tagged, and we felt that if we “stole” tags from other users, this might not get accomplished. Also, delicious helped us track the sites that everyone in our group was tagging. Delicious is a very useful resource and it gave us an advantage while researching.
