Tagging is like setting up a filing cabinet; thinking of a subject heading that is precise yet not too obscure. You'll be able to "bookmark" your favorite sites here as well as view others' sites who entered info under the same subject heading. You'll be able to carry these "favorites" with you no matter whose computer you're using.
de.icio.us is a search engine of subject headings.
Some searches produced very few results (1 - 8); but broader searches were worthwhile.
The idea of a portable filing cabinet is nifty.

restaurants/directories/food Oh My!
Explored WEB 2.0. Discussed the limitations of labeling websites. Sometimes WEB 1.0 is good enough! But for a real interactive and technologically advanced site, I would explore a 2.0 site. Today, I explored restaurants in Baltimore; found the specific ratings very helpful - and liked seeing the rater's picture! Will explore again; hungry now!
Drool with Roolyo
Had fun exploring Rollyo! Just the amount of sites I like working with - for specific instructions/info. I looked up recipes and drooled with roooolyo.
For indexing, I'll just stick with favorites. This is great fun!

LibraryThing
Explored and discussed LibraryThing. Maybe when I retire, I'll catalog my personal books!
pretty rose
I found beautiful raindrops on a rose I'd like to copy to my blog! Neat! You just copy a website link and voila!

Kevin and I explored Wikis today; public and internally-hosted. When I asked him why wouldn't I just google a town's chamber of commerce to find out museum hours, for instance, he replied that a restaurant owner via a wiki might announce that weekend's special dinner theater event. When I countered that a fired dishwasher could have edited the site announcing the restaurant had closed, Kevin explained that professionals usually have a good check system in place, but agrees the dishwasher example could happen. Therefore, Kevin feels that wikis that are looked at often, are a pretty safe bet. To look up the obscure fact, other avenues may be smarter. Web-related and hip facts are usually a safe arena also; techies check up on each other ardently.
But the great thing about wikis is that they are super for group learning; ending the email chain. - or SOCIAL GROUP PLANNING. Wikis promise growth.
