23 Things on a Stick - Thing #11 – tagging and del.icio.us

Tagging and using del.icio.us are great ways to find information and since others are going to the websites and looking for the same type of information you can usually bet that if it has been tagged by a lot of people it is a good site. This will help sift through lots of useless websites to help you find the best possible sites.
As far as a practical application for libraries I really see none. One other down side to the del.icio.us tagging is that it does not work well with frames. If you tag it, it saves the site of the parent frame and not the actual site itself as I discovered when I used our Electronic card catalogue.
