Tags and social bookmarking are really great! I am quite convinced that in the future they will eventually replace subject headings and create a new easy access platform for all book-lovers and…book-worms. Tag Clouds look a little too ‘cloudy’ for my likings but, apart from that, they are good.
Technocrati is not my cup of tea and although I dutifully performed a keyword as well as advanced search for “bookmobile” I ended up with the same number of hits – 564. Searching for nswpln2008 brought back one result only – a comment from a disappointed ‘searcher’ who, like me, could not find anything…
LibraryThing was the most exciting of them all and very user friendly. I could hardly believe how easy it was to set up an account and to add to it the newest title of one of my favorite authors.
I did not have any difficulties setting up my own delicious account but could not work out how to put a link to it in my blog. I tried to follow Mylee’s examples but it did not work. I may try to do it again and would appreciate any 'how to' hints.

Tags and subject headings can compliment each other. Think about the concept of catalogers as the ultimate taggers!
