CPL 2.0

In my view, storing, tagging and sharing web content through a social media like Delicious offers several advantages:
  • It allows internet users to identify, filter and retrieve relevant and crucial information, all at one place and therefore, offers a substantial saving of time and effort.
  • It allows users and providers to track the usage of their favorite and/or similar tags, their popularity and history etc.
  • We can find and add people with common interests to our network.

There are of course some drawbacks associated with using a tag-based system like Delicious.

  • Lack of standardized set of keywords and the structure of such tags is one such disadvantage.
  • It might also be a problem for users to either find or indicate hierarchical relationships between tags.
