CPL 2.0 (Delicious)

I've really liked Delicious for a while - it's a convenient way to store your favourite places online to search.  Mostly I use it at home to keep track of my friends blogs.  A lot of my family and friends live away from Calgary, so reading what they're up to on their blogs (and seeing pictures of their ever growing kids) is a great way to stay in touch!  I think that it's great that the library Best Websites are up on Delicious - although I do find Delicious to be getting ever more crowded with more and more stuff to be read on each page.  Sometimes simplicity is nice. 

There are some great CPL 2.0 blogs out there.  I can't imagine how KE & HK are managing to go through them every week - it sounds like a full-time job to me! 

Now - what are the advantages/disadvantages of Delicious  I think that the advantages are that you can store your favourite sites in one place, and then share those sites with others.  It's like sharing your address book, or your reading journal, so I like that.  You can also connect with people that have the same sites as you listed, which is kind of cool.  However, for me it can seem a bit like information overload.  I don't necessarily need any more information when I'm browsing away online - it can suck you in and take up hours of your life!  Beware!  It's a fun way to while a few hours away though - especially exploring various tags. 

All for now - Happy Tuesday!

CPL 2.0

To start off with - what I'm most intrigued with/scared by is the following:

When I tried to set up this blog for some reason there were issues. Apparently I already had a blog registered to my email account (ok it's the Humanities blog that I started 3 years ago - and apparenlty never disabled). So I reset my password (because I'd forgotten what it was) and then I got a series of error messages that looked like this:

We're sorry, but we were unable to complete your request.

When I followed the instructions to search Blogger Help Group this is the message I received:

Suggestions:

Try different keywords.
Try browsing Blogger help topics. Try your keywords on Google Web Search.

In the end it all worked - and so I'm happy. But I would like some ideas out of this as far as how to keep track of multiple accounts, passwords, etc. that are all involved in social media.

Happy CPL 2.0ing everyone!
