Delicious, social networking and teaching

Each semester I include a discussion /exercise for experimenting with Delicious as both a bookmarking and social networking site. Students are required to create an account and then tag 20 sites. Since this is a cataloging class the objective is to compare the intellectual process of tagging to subject analysis and then use the cloud tag to compare. Its a great way to introduce students to a non-threatening social network site.
