More delicious thoughts

So my main draw to 5weeks before it started was to learn more about the awesome rss feed stuff we could do to the library's webpage.  So during the chat this week I felt very chatty about rss.  Then the conversation turned to del.icio.us.  Everyone was so excited.  Everyone, that is, but me.  I am the only one not enamored with del.icio.us.  I have tried it, and I think that it’s nice, but nothing extra fabulous.  I think one problem I have with it is that I don’t get special thrills out of the discoveries of others because I’m not interested in the subject matter.  But Jason’s presentation made me realize the power of the network.  Creating a network of people you know will be looking at interesting stuff is well worth your time.  I have some work to do in creating a personal network.  I did an informal poll this weekend and none of my friends are on del.icio.us…yet.  But there are always my library brethren.  I look forward to keeping up with the 5weeks tags and seeing where they lead me.
