Sharing with del.icio.us

December 8, 2006 · 1 Comment

There are a couple of ways we can share resources in del.icio.us.

1. One is by using the “for:username” tag.

Once you’ve set up an account, post your username here in a comment to this post. Anytime you tag a new link you want me to see, add this tag to the tagfield for:keiramc

The next time I login to del.icio.us the link will be waiting for me in my links for you page.

2. We can tag anything we think is relevant for NACE with a particular keyword, like say Nace or mushroomeater and then subscribe to each others feed for that tag. My feed would look like http://del.icio.us/keiramc/mushroomeater

3. We can add each other to our network and when we login to del.icio.us we just click on your network at the top of the page, then click on the username and voila, we’ll be able to view each other’s links.

4. We can use the linkrolls feature to generate a bit of code for each of us that would show any links tagged “nace” or “mushroomeater” in the sidebar of our blog.

I’d like to experiment with #4. But I think it makes sense to add each other to our networks, #3 and when we think something would be of particular interest to one of us, to tag it as in #1.

Clear as mud? The action item here is to comment with your del.icio.us username.

Groovy Social Software Workshops

December 8, 2006 · Leave a Comment

You’ll notice the heavy Brian Lamb focus here. He’s been our UBC guru on social software and in his non-web based life, my partner. But hey- in some small way I feel like I participated in the creation of these, if only as an ‘ear’ over dinner. Brian and his compatriots are very open about sharing their work- we’re free to plunder. I’ll be posting other workshop examples soon.

This was a 2 day intro to social software workshop to a group of Croatian educators:

A brief overview- I was a participant in this one as was my son Harry.
