I think it is amazing that people are actually trying to organize the Net :) -- people who think like librarians, whether they realize it or not! I set up an account with Del.icio.us and found some tags for "libraries" :
http://del.icio.us/search/?fr=del_icio_us&p=libraries&type=all
which listed some interesting sites. What's impressive about this idea is how easy it is for people to connect with each other, and help each other find information on...well, on just about anything!! And that my searches could also be of help to other people, simply by tagging my finds. Del.icio.us use of tags is way more informal than catalogers' use Sears Subject Headings or traditional cataloging rules, but it's the same idea. hmmm...are library catalogers going to go in this 2.0 direction in the future?? Is OCLC in trouble??!! Probably not, but helping people find particular sites or info amidst all the millions of websites and blogs is definitely a good thing.
