on the OTher hand

Today I have discovered a new entity within the internet: social bookmarking! I have skewered through several different bookmarking networks and revealed the endless opportunities to del.icio.us. Here on this site I have found that the topic of Occupational Therapy is a lot more popular that previously presumed.

So what can del.icio.us do for me?  How will this site help my blog?  For those computer idiots like myself, tagging is a fascinating way of expanding my network and exposing my blog to the outer world.  By tagging different del.icio.us users to my blog, I am giving that person the opportunity to tag my blog to their site, and others that look at that person’s site will now be exposed to my site.  The possibilities are endless!

There are several different bookmarking sites, they all have a variety of interests.  I felt that del.icio.us met the needs for my Occupational Therapy blog.  Not only does it contain the most amount of OT bookmarks, a total of 761, but it also has the largest amount of current bookmarking users, again giving me the opportunity of and more users looking at my blog.  I see it as the more exposure, the better.     

I am beginning to like this internet frenzy. It is a bit scary to think of the power the internet has, but on the other hand it is amazing to realize the possibilities it has to offer. I am beginning to appreciate how this network is going to help me in many other ways.
