#13 Tagging, folksonomies & social bookmarking in Del.icio.us

I just couldn't get into this one. Although I use a computer in two different places, viz. at home and at work, I tend to use different bookmarks in each place. I also am in a habit of regularly checking and keeping my bookmarks in order and feel no need to peruse other people's bookmarks. I tend to use my own as I know what I want to look at and I don't spend a lot of time just browsing on the internet. I'm not really interested in what other people are looking at. I use the internet as a tool to suit my own purposes and although I welcome new technologies when they arise I usually evaluate them and only use those I have a need for. In fact I find aimless browsing about as interesting as watching grass grow! I'd much prefer to use the time in a more contructive manner. Reading a book, for example, going for a walk to take some photos, drawing or painting something, listen to music, create music, chase after my grandson or maybe learning how to master some new computer program. When I have time that is.............
