tagging

let's see if anyone -- even the contributors -- read this blog.

here is my problem. I am overwhelmed with information. I cannot keep a handle on what I have read and where.

With grad student help I set up a webpage with all my links. But that is static. In order to update I have to go into dream weaver, which I have resisted learning.

So I go to del.icio.ous -- especially since firefox ate my bookmarks and so I have to use the ones I saved to del.icio.ous.

Will this solve my problem? Is tagging the solution -- for organizing, finding, and sharing information? Should I tag every article or blog post I read that I find interesting and potentially useful on some future date?

I have also looked at zotero and brainstorm briefly, but do not feel like learning and setting up a bunch of different programs ...

any thoughts?
