So I just used Del.ici.ous for tagging some websites. I dunno, if I were to have to do some research on the web that did not have any restrictions to academic article, then this site is ok. I mean, I guess one could get on the site and do a search for something they are trying to research and see what other people have found, but I am a pretty start-from-scratch kinda guy. I would much rather start by Googling the term, and seeing what it comes up with. As far as I understand the concept of Google, aren't the results rated by how many other links there are to that particular page-or something to that effect? So doesn't Google already do what del.ici.ous does? It doesn't make sense to me to refine the search that much, thus limiting the results one finds. This may be slower, but more precise and more encompassing.
On the whole I see the value of del.ici.ous, but just not for me. I think I'll probably delete the tag button after this class is finished.
