TIP: How to use del.icio.us during your online research
Many journalists use what’s known as “tagging” to keep track of sites they find during their online travels. Sites such as Furl.net, Digg.com and Del.icio.us. See a useful tip on how to use del.icio.us below, sent in by Erica Berenstein, J2007, ericaeve[at]gmail (many of the others work the same way). Post your own comments below.
Del.icio.us - http://del.icio.us - is a website where you can post links to articles, blogs, and websites on your own personal page. I’ve found it very helpful as I do internet research on my beat, since it can be hard to keep all the web resources/sites/articles organized in my
notes. If I find an article that might be of use later, I post it to my del.icio.us page, tag it and add a note to remind myself what it is about. Later I can search my pages and articles by tags or the search option.
