#13 Tagging & Del.icio.us

This exercise has shown me that bookmarking websites is not only a means of remembering website addresses but that it can be much more helpful and interactive than that. Being able to add, receive and view comments posted by other site users means that you can clarify the information presented and deepen your personal understanding of the topic. This research assistance is useful to promote lifelong learning. You may also find that other people have similar experience and comments to your own.

I can see how online communicatins such as these can enhance what we now call "community connectedness" The community is no longer just a physical location centred around where you live but it is also the location(s) where you think! An example is posted below.
