Stefanie's Tips and Tricks!
In the beginning, it was challenging to find IT related information. I knew nothing about this field, so I didn't know where to start looking.
I soon discovered that deliscious is an excellent resource for technology information. I went to the popular page, and clicked on information technology tags. Once I clicked on these tags a plethora of information was at my fingertips. After doing this for a few days, I noticed that certain users were continuously tagging IT related sites. I added these users to my network, and since then it has been much easier to find IT information because I can see the IT sites they are tagging each day.
I have discovered other useful tips in addition to adding users to my network. Whenever I tag a website I look at the website which provided the article or link. That way I am aware of websites that produce IT related news articles or information. I add all of these websites into a tag I named spider. Then when I want to go to any of these sites, I just click on my spider tag, and they all appear, ready for me to use. For example, in spider right now I have CNN's technology section, slashdot, infoworld.com, ExtremeTech, and other sites.
