Tagging is the process of assigning personal keywords (“tags”) to resources by users. Tags have been used in web pages since the beginning of Internet. They provided a link from the web page to resources in another web site on information related to the current subject, or jump to a different section either up or downstream of the current page. Recently, tagging has been used by del.icio.us, a social bookmarking web service for storing sharing, and discovering web bookmarks.
In one of the web site about del.icio.us, it provided a list of libraries around the country arranged in alphabetical order that used the delicious bookmarking software. It is interesting that MCPL was not in the list. May be it is a partial list.
It is emphasized that one person's delicious bookmarking can be viewed by other persons. I am not sure why people want to share their private viewing experience with others.
