Things I'm Learning about Tagging on Delicious

My delicious bookmarks are at

Think a bit about the tags you want to use so that they are consistent.
A tag can only have 1 word - no spaces. Can use underscores and dashes to seperate words.
You shouldn't use commas between tags, as it treats a comma as a tag!
Putting your tags in a list (rather than cloud) seems the must useful.
You can edit your bookmarks, and change the tags.

Pretty basic, but I'm learning from trial and error.

Here's a good recent link, from a blog "Ideas and Thoughts from an EdTech":

Del.icio.us as the precursor to Twitter

Dean Sharski feels that many people like the links posted on twitter. Delicious has been showing other people's links for some time. The post discusses the value of using networks on Delicious, and how Dean Sharski subscribes to his delicious network, and receives updates of their new bookmarks.

One commentor makes the point that it is "Great to get the pulse of what the edublogosphere is up to" by using this networking component 0f delicious.

Here's Dean's tutorial showing how this works.

Here's another tutorial, From David Truss (a Powerpoint presentation) introducing delicious, including this networking feature.
