Isn't that delicious?

I think that delicious website is such an amazing facility for reading specialists. This is one of the many resources that our lecturer of the ICT course placed on myelearning. Firstly it allows you to sort all your bookmarks by using tags. This means that you will have no trouble finding specific bookmarks of pages containing valuable reading resources especially when your bookmarks run up into the hundreds. Secondly, since it is on delicious website, it is not confined to your computer at home. Thus any where in the world where there is an internet connection you have access to your bookmarks. Finally, the one that perhaps is most appealing to me is that networked reading specialists can look at what their peers are reading. Thus if you are in my network, you can see all the resourceful websites that I have bookmarked and I can see yours. Thus we can quickly discover the beneficial sites of one another. Isn’t that delicious? For instance, if you are in my network and cannot access Ebscohost outside of UWI to download valuable resources, you can access it from my bookmark of Ebscohost website on delicious.

  1. Hi Colin. I just love reading your blogs; they are so informative. I got myself a delicious tab on my homepage and I have already saved a few sites that I find important. However, I'm not sure how to share with others. Any info about that will be most welcome.

  2. I am most pleased that you find my posts informative and congrats on signing up with delicious. You are using the technology. My user name is hombresincero. If you would like to add me to your network, simply click on the "Network" button on the top left of the page. Then you will be sent to a page where you will see "Add a user to network". Click on it and a small box will appear on the right asking for "username". Put in the person's user name and click on "add". That's it. You can give me your username so that we can both view the interesting sites that each other is bookmarking.
