Thing 17 Tagging, Folksonomy, and Del.icio.us

After reading several of the articles I've come to the realization that researching tools have changed drastically since I was in college. I definitely feel left behind in the technological era.

Social and collaborative tagging can be very useful in managing content and categorizing material. It is currently the hottest Internet trend. Social bookmarking is an inexpensive way to share information that has few restrictions. It appears to be simple to use. However, I don't see myself using much of anything that I've read about in this section of Web 2.0

Del.icio.us looks to be a helpful learning tool also. It allows you to build reading lists and research lists and in turn share everything you have found on a certain topic. It is a peer driven learning tool that expands the world of research to millions of people.
