Delicious and Wordle!
I have now explored the Delicious website! I had never used this before so it was all new to me but I have now saved a new bookmark and performed searches. The searches threw up some interesting results. I would not have considered using this site as a 'search engine' before but I will now bear it in mind for future use. After exploring Delicious I had a look at www.wordle.net and created a tag cloud. OMG!! It was amazing!! I wondered why some of the words had appeared in the cloud; words such as Arsenal and York, but then I realised that it had picked words I had used in my 23 Things Blog. How very clever! I think that in addition to Delicious, Wordle could also be a very interesting and useful website for me to use in future. Both these sites have fascinating benefits to users searching for specific words and I enjoyed learning about them.

Glad you liked both sites. Did you create a Wordle picture? Do you want to post it to show the rest of us? At a conference last October one of the speakers says that he no longer uses Google to search but instead uses sites which aggregate sites used and liked by his friends and colleagues. He finds that in this way he finds more relevant sites of better quality than a simple search. Will send you a powerpoint. Just one more to go!!
ReplyDeleteHi ClaraGlocke. By a Wordle picture do you mean the Tag Cloud? If so I have edited my previous post to include a picture of it. If you mean something else, please let me know and I will have to investigate Wordle further!
ReplyDeleteYour post about the speaker is very interesting. I automatically use Google for searching as a force of habit, but that may change as I learn more.
I've received your powerpoint - thank you. I am off to read about 'the legal bit' etc!
