Week 6, Thing 13

Del.icio.us -
Did a lot of exploring around the site - looking at tags and reading comments.
One needs to be careful about sources stored here for research purposes - I found at least one that had a correction on it from a commentor.(Wiki - esque) This would be great for research files and information, I also found a lot of fun stuff to sort through, too. This site is very packed with information.

when you say "one with a correction," do you mean in the blurb that individuals can write when they bookmark something? if so, you're right--that is one of the things that you have to be careful. people can editorialize and categorize something however they wish. it's, admittedly, one of the things you have to watch out for. at the same time, it is what makes 2.0 tech great--a wide array of voices enter the conversation.

some of these tools (like wikipedia) have continuous checks for accuracy though, so things are improving.
