Week 6, Thing 13

I created an delicious account at http://delicious.com/jan519 . At first, I didn't see the point in looking at other people's bookmarks, and it almost felt as though I was peering into other people's private internet searches. Then I realized how useful those bookmarks can be if I were doing serious research on an obscure topic. What other people find on the same topic can be extremely helpful in my own research. Now I'm hooked on this social networking tool! I typed castles in Ireland in the search box and found a huge number of sites that can accommodate my curiosity or increase my knowledge on the subject. I hope that this is a website that is not blocked in our district so that I can introduce delicious to our faculty.
