Assignment #6

Although I found exploring the Delicious website, I can't see it being particularly useful for our organization. The results are interesting for curiousities sake and for personal interest, but not for what our office does.

I could see myself using this website for personal use. For some things that I'm interested in (sports sites, for example), I'm stubborn and use the same 3 or 4 sites to get my information. A site like this could allow me to broaden out and see what else is popular. I think the same goes for Technorati. It would be great for personal interest, but it lacks the 'professionalism' that we often need in our workplace.

I have found from participant responses that the librarians have found more uses for these tools than those of you in other community organizations.

Especially if you only use a few sites, then it is easy enough for you to remember which sites those are and where to find them. For those who use a lot of different web sites for work, this is a handy tool.
