For Exercise 13
Hello there! Happy Chinese New Year!
What a great start in the Year of Tiger to learn something new!
Delicious is a social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks. Users can tag each of their bookmarks with freely chosen index terms (generating a kind of folksonomy).
After exploring the Delicious website, I'm now with a clearer idea about tagging and thrilled to know that the mass of grey and black words grouping together is called "tag cloud" in which the size of those word reflects their popularity. What I like Delicious most is that we can organzie our favourite sites by centralizing them in one place and can access them anywhere! It's much more easy than managing "My Favorites" in the PC.
I tried to take a look of the bookmarks under the tag "books" and very happy to see a number of very useful websites, together with related tags like "library", "literature", "ebook", etc. It's great to know what websites are popularly bookmarked and what are the most popular tags nowsaday.
The registering procedure is very simple and easy to follow. I created an account for myself and saved some bookmarks in my account already - My Delicious. Also, I've put the network badge at the right column of my blog. You are very welcome to join my network!
