My experience using various tagging and searching features on delicious was a positive one. I have had little experience with the tagging site prior to this class, so the things I did to fulfill the exercise requirements were all new to me. The interface is fairly straightforward after messing around with it for a few minutes. Most everything a person would want to do is accessible various ways from their personal main page. I enjoyed seeing so many fellow classmates' tags listed under the same tag as mine. It appeared that I tagged many of the same things as the others in my class and in other sections of the class probably due to the nature of google searching keywords to find material for the assignment.
While social tagging might seem to one person as a fun tool to help him or her stay organized, it is concealed well, as the main purpose is to connect people to each other through shared interests and discoveries. Delicious does a fantastic job of making either of these objectives possible.
