Week Six: Tagging and Social Bookmarking

I have often been dismayed when at work I wanted to access a particular web page that I had bookmarked on my home computer but could remember its URL exactly or even what its name was.  This often led to an extended Google search to find the web site I was looking for and a great waste of time.  Delicious sounds like it could be a great solution to that problem.  Like our mentor who wrote "the use of the word social made me a little nervous,  I wondered if I was going to have to talk to strangers or mingle."  Since sociability is not my strongest suit, after reviewing the lesson materials and the Delicious website, I was greatly relieved to find out "there is none of that with social bookmarking, and you don't have to be social if you don't want to."  Thus, I hope you will forgive me if I am no more social with my bookmarks than absolutely necessary to accomplish this week's activities.  I registered for an account under the user name and uploaded the bookmarks from my browser.   I could not add the buttons to my browser at work so I'll have to do that later when I have my personal laptop  I have been using delicious regularly for several days now and except for my usual security concerns I like it.  I bookmarked the Purdue Owl APA Formatting and Style Guide  tagged it and sent it to rbrown3.  Finally, I created a tag bundle called Formatting and Style Guide.
