Through working with Delicious this past semester, I have learned a lot about finding information over the internet. In order to post sites, I would search Original Signal and Popurls to find information in technology and entertainment for my blog.

In addition, if I wanted more entertainment news for my blog, I would read the America Online daily headlines or "google" specific celebrities that I had heard news updates on, such as Anna Nicole Smith or Britney Spears.

After I found sites that were of interest to me, or that I used in my blog, I would tag them to delicious for other users to find. In addition to posting, I used delicious to find other information I was curious about. I could use the "popular" and "recent" functions of delicious to find out breaking news that I could potentially use in my blog, or just for my own personal knowledge.

When I would tag websites that I had bookmarked, I would make sure to put every thinkable tag so that readers could find my bookmarked website. I preferred to view my tags as a cloud, so they took up less space and more tags could be viewed at a time.

Overall, I had a satisfactory experience with delicious and plan on using it in the future as a search engine, and to aid others in their searches.
