I tagged my posts and thought about how tagging goes against the Library of Congress and Dewey Decimal cataloging systems because anyone can tag anything with any word they want to, without any catagorization system whatsoever. I checked out Del.icio.us and found different tags for the singular and pronoun form of the same word, such as "wiki" and "wikis," or "library" and "libraries." Standardization of terms would not be such a bad thing.
I thought the Del.icio.us tutorial was interesting, and like that you can view other's reading lists. It is a great research tool, as you can seek out online sources that people with with similar interests have tagged. Also, if you have to travel and/or will be using a variety of computers, it is a useful place to bookmark sites that you want to have access to.
