Week 6 : Tagging/Social Bookmarking

Thanks for coming back for another installment of Learning 2.0. This week we take up another Web 2.0 topic : tagging and social bookmarking. In the past few weeks, we’ve already explored a few sites – Flickr and LibraryThing to name two --that allow users to take advantage of tagging. This week we'll focus on del.icio.us, a social bookmarking manager which allows you to keep track of your bookmarks online and add tags to categorize the bookmarks. Many users find that the real attraction of del.icio.us is the social network aspect, which allows you to see how others have tagged similar links and also discover other websites that may be of interest to you.

#9 Discover tagging and social bookmarking with del.icio.us

Join us again next week when we will learn about video sharing with YouTube.

Week 3 : RSS & Newsreaders

Thanks for tuning in for the latest installment of Learning 2.0. It was great to see so many folks adding their comments to Thing #4 last week. Hopefully everyone enjoyed learning about blogs and reading what folks throughout WCPL had to say about them.

This week we're going to look at RSS and newsreaders. RSS makes it easier to keep up with frequently updated websites such as blogs and news sites, among others. From the comments last week, it sounds like some of you blog followers out there have already embraced RSS!

Are you ready? Let's discover RSS!

#5. Make life "really simple" with RSS & a newsreader

#6. Find some interesting feeds

Coming up next week we'll look at photos and images, including sites like flickr.com.
