Thing #13 tagging and discover Del.icio.us (Week 6 Tagging, Folksonomie )

I went to LibraryThing and searched several books in a series. Clifford books had tags which varied. It will be interesting to see how the tagging changes through these or if they are similar.

I found out... "Folksonomy (also known as collaborative tagging, social classification, social indexing, and social tagging) is the practice and method of collaboratively creating and managing tags to annotate and categorize content. " from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folksonomy

Completed Delicious project ... Signed in and let it Tag the websites I have used in this workshop so far... which is 117 so far. It was cool how they did it for you. it does make it more formal. not like the others that tag them randomly. It still leaves it up to the person to add a tag. If I did all my sites like that it would help when I give subjects on my website cataloging. On the other hand I might be able to put this on a blog or wiki or send people to Delicious. It would still need to be tagged with more. At least, there are other possibilities.

I started to publish the word cloud of the list of tags from Delicious but it makes it cumbersome on the blog and causes the time to get on the blog to slow down so I took it off.

Websites which explain a lot of what we are learning in plain English. I like the way this guy explains all this. Someone asked him if he was a teacher. He said no. Though he isn't in our terms a teacher. He is a communicator that teaches well.

The one below has this guy in other languages and more Web 2.0 topics. He definitely makes it easy.
