With you in mind, we (CELT, your e-learning department) save and share our web bookmarks on a free service called del.icio.us. Using another free service called Wordle, we've represented them below in what is known as a 'tag-cloud' - the 'tags' are the keywords we've assigned to each bookmark.

The relative size and boldness is based on incidence of a given keyword, giving an indication of our priorities. You can also use Wordle to present word clouds of any text - below is what Wordle did with the official transcript of Bush's 2007 State of the Union address.

This is certainly a more beautiful version than the old tagcrowd. Wordle's rendition of a chunk of Plato's Symposium,

and tagcrowd's rendition of the same chunk:

Sorry all, I mis-linked CELT's shared online bookmarks - they're at http://del.icio.us/celtgc.

Do have a look - we would welcome any suggestions.

Hi Mira,
Edd Bagenal here, i have also been using Delicious to save bookmarks both for my own work and as part of the Computing and Interaction Design BA that I have recently been employed to lead. I have added our networks to one another and had a look at your bookmarks also. Some great stuff.

I'm attempting to pool research for the various briefs that the students are working on and I'd be interested to hear any ways in which you have been able to use and share delicious resources within a research group.

Cheers,
Edd
