I currently subscribe to 130 RSS feeds which deliver over 200 posts a day to my reader. For most of these posts I merely skim the title and move on. Others get a cursory scan of their content. And a few get read in their entirety. In the past, whenever I found a helpful website I'd bookmark or "favorite" it in my browser. But today, with the quantity of information I have to contend with, my browser's bookmarking tools are inadequate. (Well, maybe the new bookmarking system in Firefox 3 could handle it, but there are other reasons why I feel that a browser isn't the ideal place for my bookmarks). Besides, importing and exporting bookmarks when I upgrade or switch browsers is a pain.

Rather than relying on my browser's bookmarks I use a site called del.icio.us. Del.icio.us is basically an online alternative to browser-based bookmarks.   next >

I am invdstigating ways to index an electronic newsletter I am invovled with. We need to archive some of the articles and make it searchable. Would tagging work for that activity? How would it work?

Claranne,

Tagging probably wouldn't do the trick. Tagging would be helpful for organizing this content by concepts or categories, and using something like Del.icio.us, you could let other people see it if they have common tags. Is this content already part of a website that you maintain?
