Delicious

I think that websites like delicious are fantastic as a digital replacement for ye olde vertical files. I had never played with it before, but I really enjoy the tag cloud which we were directed to on the training blog. I have used similar clouds before and think that they are a fantastic way to graphically present information.

I tend to think that one of the problems people face when trying to locate information is having the ability to pick out key words and think laterally of other subjects which might contain the information (and I'm not just talking about digital resources... think about the way Dewey organises similar info in completely separate places!)

My delicious account is here, but I still have some work to do on it. I don't think it is something that I would use personally, however I think there is great potential for libraries/organisations to organise information/links this way.
