Delicious blogs

Thing 9

One of my favorite ways to find library-related blogs and sites is on delicious.com. If you search for librarian, a lot of blogs that people have tagged "librarian" are retrieved. Not only can you look at the blogs and add them to your feeds (or to your own delicious page), you can also click on the number to the right of each of the blogs to see who has tagged that blog. For example, if I search for librarian on delicious, one site that comes up is librarian.net. Next to it (today) is the number 1364, indicating that 1364 people have bookmarked that site on their delicious page. If I click on that number, I can see all the people who have bookmarked this site. There is a good possibility that all those people are librarians, and I can now access the delicious page of any one of those librarians to see what websites they think are cool. I have added a number of feeds to my reader this way. I have also added sites to my delicious page this way.
