Springtime pic. & Delicious hits the spot !



Here are some sunny spring flowers because I've gone on too long on this blog without a picture.
Also, I hearby confess that..... *I've decided I quite like Delicious* !!! Having found the Delicious tool for I-Google & discovering that Delicious is one of the few article savers that "Le Figaro's" website will accept, I can now have all my lovely Paris articles to hand whenever I need a bit of cheering up :) "Les toutes dernières boutiques gourmandes de Paris" does it for me everytime :)

Here's the link, beware, it'll make you hungry :)

Delicious is giving me indigestion :(

Well, I've done Thing 10, I added the History Faculty library & DevouredByVegans to my network & I forwarded a bookmark to DevouredbyVegans. I've also added my Delicious bookmark link to my IGoogle toolbar & had a good root around in the Delicious searches.....but......I cannot love Delicious. It doesn't look friendly, it's hard to navigate & seems to be very dependent on the quality of tag being created. As ever (here it comes, the moan I've moaned from day one of "23 Things") there is so much *rubbish* to negotiate.
I could see that I would use it occassionally to tag an interesting on-line article which had a Delicious button but, otherwise, not. Also, there are *so many* of these tagging things out there Dig, Twitter, Facebook etc. etc. where do you stop?
Finally, if there is a Delicious lover out there who can convince me that behind that ugly face is something truly lovable, let me know; though I'll warn you, I'll take a *lot* of convincing :)

Not tasting too nice at the moment


Well, Delicious week. Can't say I'm too keen at the moment, However, I've made my account, saved some bookmarks & given them tags. here's a screenshot:-

Will wait until I've done some more but I'm not too clear on why or when I would use Delicious. I've had a look at the History Faculty & can see the use for flagging up things of interest for readers. I'm assuming that a library user would check Delicious as well as a library's own website; & I do wonder about keeping a library's profile current on all of these different things.

Hopefully, Delicious will taste sweeter with further exploration.
