Delicious Follow Up

When I first started using Delicious to keep track of my bookmarks online it was simple to just alphabetize them and easily find what I was looking for. As I've accumulated more bookmarks (115) it's more challenging to find any particular link.

I've discovered the system of tagging the bookmarks is very valuable in locating a bookmark. I also discovered attaching as many tags as I can think of that apply makes it easier to navigate to the site I want.

Google Docs Follow-up

My initial response to Google Docs was "Office on steroids." As I have used it more, I'm seeing more of its limitations. It is great for sharing documents among several people. It's a central location many people can have access to. The aspect of automatic updates is is a plus also.

However, Google Docs does not do as much as Office on my hard drive. I do so much with Excel, I prefer the full application. I will continue to use Google Docs for collaboration and use Office on my hard drive for more detailed, elaborate projects.
