Ok I started off by creating a delicious account and adding the buttons to the tool bar - so far so good. I am impressed that I can access delicious and thus my bookmarks from several computers, from the web. That is really handy in our multi-computer household, as the kids 'homework !?!' gets priority (why did I make that rule?).
Then I got really enthusiastic and decided to export my internet explorer bookmarks. Hey presto - several button presses later there they are all 500...WHAAAAT????? How did 500 bookmarks get exported?????
A HUGE problem is that it exports ALL BOOKMARKS ON THE COMPUTER.
I wasted an hour trying to find and delete the entire families bookmarked pages and contemplated deleting the lot.
.....(some time later) I persevered, tagged my bookmarks, sat back, patted myself on the back and thought that would be last time I would ever use delicious.
Except...maybe I would just have a little look around the site and type 'quilt' into 'tag search'
and up popped 12768 bookmarks and I like the look of (most) of them.
So if I'm not around for a while - you will know why...mmm delicious...
btw if you know how to export bookmarks from a selection, please let me know, I have to get my bookmarks off the laptop, family room computer and the iMac (Don't look so shocked - didn't I tell you there 6 children in this family - 2 at uni, 3 in high school and 1 in primary!)
I have just completed this module myself, amd think that delicious is a good idea, but tricky to use! I see you havent had too much luck with delicious, I hope that changes!
ReplyDeleteYour Blog is terrific! I love all the pictures, especially your glog!

Thanks Giulia. It's lovely to get your comment. I'm having so much fun playing around with all the different tools in web2.0. I do like delicious, but it is really easy to waste time exploring different sites. I have to be very disciplined or I can lose an hour/s very easily.
