Week 8, Thing 17: Del.icio.us

Well, I'm quite confused. I'm not wishing to, yet again, register a new account, so I try following the directions and how annoying is it when you try to click on a link with the SnapShots boxes keep poping up!! But anyway....I visited del.icio.us and just found it a mess. There are too many things going on with the pages and that just confuses me. Sure I see the links and all, but it's just a messy page with words all over it after clicking here and there a few times. I get the point of the page because I had co-workers explain it to me, but I'm not interested in using this service at the moment. Maybe one day, but with a busy schedule and barely no time at work given to view this in depth (let alone complete Web 2.0)....right now will not be the time to explore more than I did.

I can see how this site could be useful at the library. If each branch was given a login perhaps, then we could save resourceful sites to help customers. But then you have those people who have to save everything, and I can see how a library combined account would not be such a good idea. But sure, it's a nice idea to use at the library.

No one was required to sign up for an account. You can complete the exercise without a Del.icio.us account.

I believe I did complete it the best that I could without registering.
