Folksonomies and Tagging

I really struggled with this without anyone to call on. I tried several times to sign up for del.icio.us but kept being sent back to the fuzzy writing screen! This just reinforced my avoidance of these sites.
I can see that some people would love this type of connection, but to me it is very isolating and impersonal.
I'll try another time to get into this and read some reviews.

RSS FEEDS

I found this the most interesting of the drives I've been on so far. Knowing I can have information come to me instead of searching for it afresh every time I want to check something out is a bonus!
I selected the Powerhouse Museum photo of the day blog as I don't think my husband knows about this one, and he is a photo follower, and the ABC site, as I listen to or watch ABC news and often hear about ABC blogs, but have never followed up on them.
I didn't get to look at any library sites, but as I have now added OPAL training I know where to go.
It was also useful to practice subscribing to different feeds, as I am more likely to remember how to do it all again.
