Tag! You’re it.

Week 5 (although I’m a late starter) and I’ve been playing with social bookmarking. I have my Del.icio.us and LibraryThing accounts set up.

I’m not sure how much use I would get out of Del.icio.us, but it was interesting to explore. The tags I tried (multigrain, muffin, muffins – can you tell I was hungry?) brought up quite relevant sites and I even found a yummy looking recipe for zucchini yogurt multigrain muffins that I’ll try out this week. I can see that it would be useful in some cases, but I tend to think I’d still stick with Google for most of my searches.

LibraryThing looks a little more interesting to me personally. I like the idea of following the tags to see find other books I might be interested in reading. I practically haunt the Public Library downtown so any source that will give me suggestions for new authors to try is welcome.
