Tagging! Yes! This is one of those things that's been on my list of to-dos for maybe a year or so. I have so many web bookmarks on my office computer & then my co-worker has numerous web bookmarks on her office computer as well as 2 other computers. Years back I kept a webpage of all of our links for sites we visited often in assisting patrons (students usually) with research. That webpage finally became so cumbersome that I took down the link several years ago. I always hoped to find some other way to quickly be able to use & share these valuable links. I happened upon Del.icio.us and thought, yes, this might work. I shared this with my co-worker, who said she'd look it over, but then that's about as far as it got. So now maybe is the time?
Furl -- I looked over their website and one thing that popped up as a good benefit was the option of achiving cashed websites which allows for you to always have access to the website as you viewed it even if the website is taken down.

Thing 10 -- Wikis
02/22/2008
The wiki concept of collaborative authoring is interesting because of the ability of multiple people to add to, edit, update the topic content. The falldown is "who" is allowed to doing the adding, editing, updating to be able to ensure correct information is given.
I liked the BookLoversWiki and see this as a good use of a wiki. Although I found more books to add to my "need to read" list!
On the 23 Things on a Stick wiki I centered "Welcome to the", I italized "23 Things on a Stick", and I added the link "23 Things on a Stick BLOG page" -- (jd was here!) is me!

Thing 9 -- Online Collaboration Tools
02/26/2008 UPDATE
Well it took a little longer than I expected to get my "invite" ... that's 'cuz the e-mail invite was filtered into my junk e-mail. Luckily I ck'd my junk folder today and as I was going to empty it I saw the invite. So I went online & edited (actually used the "comments" feature) on the doc provided. This tool seems to be a great way to edit/comment a doc by multiple users. One downfall is that if a doc such as this was going to be worked on by multiple users it would be good to define how to do that first -- such as only using the comment feature & one person being responsible for the final edit or something such. I say this because you could see that different people worked with the document in different ways -- some just edited (that doesn't offer the tag of who did it) while others used the comment feature (which indicates who made the comment).

hmmm ... just waiting for "invites" to be able to edit ....
In the mean time I think the idea & ability to edit this way could be a great tool.
