#13 Tagging, folksonomies and the rest

Using the PLCMCL2 account was an interesting exercise - Del.icio.us would be very useful if you quickly found the people whose tags you want to 'stalk' because you admire their work and research. Otherwise you can swim around in quite a morass. I could see it working well as a tool for relatively homogenous groups of readers/patrons, for example, in the Genealogy Reading Room where all can have access and contribute. I decided not to create my own account - I think I need to explore it further to see if I become a convert.
