the virtual me

So I was/am brand new to delicious so you are more than welcome to take any comment I have with a grain of salt...

I thought the bookmarking exercise as a means of getting to know more about each other was only okay for that purpose...because there are ding-dong's, like me, that didnt put anything in the description to say why the site was important, some of the bookmarks, like mine, just didnt grab my attention. The other thing that I got very confused about was who was marking what...if it is meant to represent "us" as a "whole" I think it does that fine - but if it was meant to have me get to know Tara, for example, not so much...as I struggled to piece together who was marking what and building a profile for that person.

So if you want to use this tool as a "virtual introduction" for another class setting then I think there have to be a few more ground rules...
1. you must provide some insight as to why that site was important (I WAY more enjoyed those bookmarks than anyone could have enjoyed mine...)
2. I think you have to tag each with the user name ...tascils... etc and then look at the lists individually as well as a group tag ...fall08... to see the overlap.
3. you would have to assume that there is the possibility that there are users unfamiliar with delicious and account for that in the beginning

so that's my .02
