Thing #17

So my experience with delicious is that the tutorial is way out of date and the page that you get doesn't look anything like the page on the tutorial which for me made the tutorial rather pointless.  So I stumbled around and figured out how to find other users comments and tags at which time I noticed that most of those are rather outdated too with only one or two from this year.  But enough with the negativity already!  Sorry.  Maybe its the weather.  Or maybe its because I'm doing homework on Spring Break!  I can see how delicious can be quite useful.  The fact that you can save all of your bookmarks there and access them from any computer could come in quite handy.  It is good that you have the option of making your bookmark private because I'm not sure all of my bookmarks need to be shared.  I think this could be useful for sharing information with colleagues as well as with students.  If you created a class page, like the APSU23things page, it could be used by the students to bookmark and share websites for a class project.  It would be interesting if another class somewhere else in the world was working on a similar project and the students could share bookmarks on a topic.  Social studies, math, reading, science.  I think it could be used in any subject.  I think the ability to get the viewpoint of someone from outside of the US would be a great contribution.  I've been studying for my diversity midterm, does it show?
