Ponderings Four: Del.icio.us is Del.ight.ful
Posted by: scutter33 in Del.icio.us, PonderingsI’ve really taken to del.icio.us and have been madly tagging my little heart out for the last few weeks, but its always been just an extension of the Favorites menu in IE7. This week, however, I began to see its full potential as a tool for basic knowledge management and sharing and am embarking on a trial to test the viability of centralising all the bookmarks used for research within my organisation onto del.ico.us using a unique tag to identify them. I know some of you will be thinking I should be using a wiki, but for an organistion like mine, that is not necessarily used to operating this way, this is a nice first step towards introducing some key technologies into everyday work processes. I’m planning on introducing this trial soon, and I will keep you updated over the coming weeks. I’d love to hear from anyone who has done something similar or has some suggestions on maximising the effectiveness of this idea.

I think Delicious is a great place to start… it’s quite different to a wiki… and you can always pull the Delicious bookmarks into a wiki page (if you like)!
