Brian’s Weblog

It was incredibly easy to create an account with Del.icio.us and add the browser buttons. Instead of adding bookmarks one at a time, I decided to try the group import option. It was great – maybe too great – as I selected all of my Internet Explorer bookmarks for importing. I now have well over 150 bookmarks on my Del.icio.us page. What was even better is that it allowed be the option of automatically creating some tags.
Many of my favorites were for my hobbies so I have a camping folder with about a half dozen sites or so. Del.icio.us further tagged some of the pages with RV as well as camping…intersting.
I can see a utility in our library with managing subject oriented sites: health care statistics or asthma or pediatrics, etc. We could even use Del.icio.us for our different resident groups: dermatology, surgery, pediatrics, etc. We could also further tag links into PGY1, PGY2, for different levels of residents or we could have tags for specific assignments. This is a very useful utility because then the resident could access the suggested web sites at any computer at any location.
