So, onward with my learning 23 things for web 2.0. Next stop is Del.icio.us. A social bookmarking tool similar to Diigo. There are some neat features that allow you to track other Delicious users (or scholars). A couple of philosophical issues rear their heads. First, it is too easy to rely on specific users and slant toward biased research. Second, the categorizing and indexing of links is purely subjective by users and not professionals. The problem with this is clear; as tags build on any specific link they get too great to be useful, or conversely, if they are not tagged extensively enough in the first place, they don't get found.
This seems to be the common theme I am finding in Web 2.0... But I think I get to write more about that later.... stay tuned
