I noticed we didn't get an email reminder this morning to check in on week 8 of Project Play. Its quite interesting how hooked I get on having someone remind me to accomplish tasks. Luckily, I was cleaning out my inbox and saw the message about week 7.
But I digress. I am thinking of starting a Blog for truly small libraries (village/town/city population under 1,000) and having a Delicious account where we could keep useful websites is one way I could use this tool.
The concept of tagging with uncontrolled vocabulary isn't at all unsettling to me. I've always been a bit of a rebel and feel natural vocabulary makes more sense. Since it is a social system, I think you will end up with a much more usable setup than the controlled vocabulary system that is accessible only to those who have the 'key'. I've always felt that the subject heading vocabulary was too formal (Motion Picture vs. Film, Movie, Cinema, etc.) Using social input will likely include all of those tags (eventually).
Now I've set up my own del.icio.us account, but haven't added any websites yet. Check back for the URL.
