Tag You’re It

Although del.icio.us is fun to use, I’d have to stick with good ole Google for finding information due to the one major factor I rely on…SPEED.  Given that I will be in Las Vegas next week , I decided to search Las Vegas.  When I conducted a search for “Las Vegas” on del.icio.us it took quite a while to load the results page.  I’ve tried it on three different computers in three different locations (just in case the computer I was working on was slow) and it was still very slow at responding. 

One thing that I did like about del.icio.us was that the top results were less inclined to show travel advertisements.  Here are the links that I added and tagged:  http://del.icio.us/onicholl.  Google automatically provided links to airfare, hotels, etc… 

The tags on del.icio.us were quite generic.  Nothing to write home about, but totally acceptable given that I conducted such a broad search.  I decided to play around with del.icio.us some more (funny thought break….everytime I type del.icio.us, that Fergie song “Fergalicious” pops into my head lol).  Anyhow, back to what I was saying.  I also came across del.icio.us/styleyoursite.  You can have a lot of fun creating and styling your site. 

Overall, I give del.icio.us 2 thumbs up for style, information and tagging.  Lack of speedy results deserves 1 thumb down.

Now onto Flickr!  Flickr is so much fun.  I will most likely put up photos from my trip on there soon.  Well the only issues I see with Flickr is privacy and copyright issues, but that seems to be a constant concern with anything that is done on the internet like Facebook, MySpace or Zorpia.  Anyhow, here is a link to what I will be looking at next week hehe…Las Vegas at night.

See you all in a week…that is unless I get Lucky
