Social Bookmarking

So, apparently I already have a Delicious account.  I must have learned about it in library school, or clicked on that little delicious icon sometime.  I vaguely remembered having an account so I logged it to see if it was still active and it was!

Wanna here about what I had bookmarked back then?  The anticipation is killing you right?  Ok, ok I'll tell you!
1. FAIL blog
2. Not Always Right
3. EW.com
4. Unshelved
5. IMDb

I still read these blogs/websites but I usually just "google" them to get to the right website.  I can see how having a delicious account will keep them organized for you but I don't know that I visit enough websites to really warrant using it all that much.

I did create a new account just for 23 Things: ageekylibrarian
It has changed a lot since I first remember using it.  I don't remember there being an option to create stacks back when I first joined. I did share a link with the 23 Things Blog - Awful Library Books

I also added a few links from some of our previous 23 Things that I liked the best and will probably still use after this. I put those into one stack and created another stack for "funny" links. I shared the stack of my favorite 23 Things links with tcpl23things.

Some ways I could use this in my work: I could create an account to share links with teens such as: Goodreads, Figment, Teen Ink, etc.
