Delicious is just what I've needed for a long, long time. I have a habit of bookmarking websites in my browser, telling myself I'll organize the bookmarks in folders later, creating one dautingly long list of favorites I can't face scrolling through, and then repeating the same searches rather than using my favorites. Tagging is an easy way to organize sites almost instantly, and I will never have to go through the drugery of putting my favorites in folders again. Thanks Nebraska Learns 2.0!
As the activity suggested, I looked at some of the tags others were using for NebraskaAccess. It's interesting to see the similarites and differences in tags, which seemed to vary in part from what resources researchers were most interested in and how they were using them. For example, I noticed lesson_plans and genealogy among the tags. To me the tag "resources" seemed too broad to be useful, but in that tagger's scheme, "resources" may have a different, more specific conotation.
I expect sharing bookmarks and browsing tags to enhance my online research.

I have to agree, the tags folks assign to NebraskAccess are interesting. As I look at some of them I have to stop and think and realize that yes, it is actually a good tag to use but I never thought of it.
