Someday I aspire to be one of the great del.icio.us users of the world. With the tips from the readings I think I just might be! These are a few of the most interesting parts:
Tags can be very helpful, but as seen since I have began using del.icio.us, they can be messy. One tip is to clean up your tags by using the ‘Settings’ section of your account. There is a page where you can delete tags, or change one tag into another. So if you have a few links tagged with the same or similar words this is where you can make that adjustment. This is helpful because many of the same tags can look messy and confusing.
The inbox is an interesting tool as well. Here you can subscribe users with similar tags, so that you can see what they have been tagging and follow their bookmarks. You can also subscribe to specific tags to get updates on when more bookmarks are tagged with those words. You can stalk other users by replacing the username in the url with theirs: http://del.icio.us/inbox/USERNAME. You are able to view their inbox and see who they are watching. This is both helpful, and a little creepy! But it can help you find more people to tag and more places to bookmark.
These tips make del.icio.us a little easier to understand, especially for those less computer savvy! Bottom line is, it takes time and devotion to figure out any new technology. Allthough it is very helpful, it is tricky and time consuming to completely understand.
