ready to be delicious

Counting down this morning to an online class about delicious bookmarking. I've already confessed in my preclass assignment that during 23 things I just didn't "get" the point. That is, I can see how it would be lovely to access my bookmarks from any old computer, but when I go to the delicious site, it just seems confusing and overwhelming.

Here's the thing. My favorites give me an illusion of control over the web; I have these sites that I know I can count on for various things, right? Then I go to delicious and see the billion other sites that other folks have bookmarked, and wham, I'm back into the sea of knowing my little bit of knowledge is no "control" at all!

The older I get, the more I know that I know so little!
