Thing Thirteen

This time I enjoyed the tagging assignment and spent the most time on del.iou.us, playing around with various tags. I now understand why the list of booklists that I use on the our own Kidsite looks the way it does! I had felt a little uncomfortable the first time I saw the new format of our lists, with the long blue titles! NOW I understand that they look the way they do because they are available (not sure of the correct terminology) through del.iou.us! Very interesting!
I played around with several other topics of interest to me, such as early literacy and storytimes, and bookmarked a few good sites for my own computer :-) Also enjoyed finging folkstreams again when I looked for folk music. I think it was the most tagged site under folk music. Also I managed to look up Silver Spring Maryland and get onto the Silver Spring Center site, which lists lots of great upcoming concerts, event in SS, including library programs! I see a few festivals coming up on Ellsworth street that I would love to drop in on.
All in all, a fun venture! and now I finally know what del.iou.us is!
Only glitch - the 12 minute intro video seemed to be unreachable, so I'm sure I missed some of the finer points, like how to see what other people actually said about their tags. Oh well, it's neverending once you get onto something, so I'm sure I learned enough for one day!
