tag! this one is fun

Tagging has been fun this week. The little movie, along with the written set of instructions, was easy to follow. (I still don't read lips.)

I set up an account in delicious - an easy one for me. The predicted interest of the social tags led me away from my work list today for more than an hour.

It seems that the tag cloud could be used in the same way people used to use a collection of notecards when gathering info for a project. They can be moved around, re-organized, and listed in different orders of importance.

The downside is that all the interesting sideroads may slow down one's timely arrival to one's original destination. (See paragraph two - I haven't finished this week's work.)

Yes, it is fun. And you can waste a lot of time seeing who else bookmarked a link and what else they've bookmarked, and what tags they've used...
You can find some interesting sites that way, but you can also go down some distracting rabbit holes.
