I looked at Delicious a few days ago, loaded the toolbar and then imported my bookmarks. Unfortunately, I was thinking of the bookmarks I had in Yahoo, but since I was in Firefox, it imported all the MSN bookmarks which is not terribly helpful. When I opened up Delicious today, I saw how I could delete, so I got rid of some that are unnecessary. I guess if i access Delicious from my yahoo account, I can import those bookmarks.
Today I opened Delicious and even remembered my log in. I wanted to save the agenda for the class learning 2.0, but clicked on the bookmarks icon (wrong one anyway) and the tag icon with no result. I guess you have to be at a web page. I was able to do it in my yahoo account, however.
I definitely appreciate the ability to look at my bookmarks wherever I am. I have encountered in the past wishing i was at my own computer so I could have my marked pages. As for the rest, I am also feeling confused. I tend to use just as much of a program as I need, a bare minimum, and not learn the rest. If I can keep myself using Delicious after the class, that will be a milestone for me. I can see the use for it at work to share websites with my co-workers. I recently moved to a public library where I am the selector in the medical arena, but I'm no longer at a medical library. Setting up something for patrons is more challenging and something that will require much more thought and conversation with colleagues.

hi laura --
although i may appear savvy, i really am also struggling with the practicality of some of these applications. i am very eager to learn these new things, but would not have attempted to learn on my own. after experimenting with several of them - i probably wll never use them again!but i guess to this class i owe the fact when someone comes up to me and askes how they post pictures from flickr or a rss feed to a blog, i will not look at them likethey are from another planet!
