I wanted to take a few minutes and bring your attention to a really nice feature from del.icio.us.
I had gotten into the bad habit of tagging resources in del.icio.us and not taking the time to look at the resource beyond what was necessary to deem the resource worthy of tagging. I think the habit started when I was trying to do too many things at once and I thought I would go back and read the resources later. But I never did.
Then I found out about:
Linklog – Save bookmarks to interesting websites and add a bit of commentary to create a lightweight linklog. Then, use linkrolls or the daily blog posting feature to include your del.icio.us bookmarks on your blog or website. (learn more about other del.icio.us tools at del.icio.us/about)
Well more specifically the daily blog post. This allows del.icio.us to talk to my blog and create posts that include my bookmarks from the previous day. I have found that this not only provides me the chance to look at the resources I bookmarked yesterday but it posts them within the thoughts I was having at the time I tagged the resource.
I liked it so much that I incorporated it into my department’s web site to share links on educational technology.
