Thing #13. Learn about tagging and discover a Del.icio.us (a social bookmarking site)

I watched the Del.icio.us tutorial and I liked how this tool works. I clicked on several bookmarks that others had used and thought that some of the information would be useful for research and other information could not be used.
I can see that this tool could be very useful for a research assistance because it seems to be a very easy to create bookmarks that can be accessed from virtually anywhere there's a computer handy.
I would make del.icio.us my default search engine for all my research because I like that I can add my favorite Websites, any single web page, article or piece of content and because I can tag the content it makes it easy to find and if I link my account to other people it becomes online social network. It is an easy tool to use and easy to search for other bookmarked resources and it is free. The content that is tagged is what people have flagged. When you are doing research on a topic you can see a website or article that someone has tagged and you can see how many people flagged that article.
