Week 8 (very late) - API's & Mash-ups

SO, I took a look at the mashup award link and decided to look at taggylicio.us

The web address is similar to deli.icio.us but the blurb about taggy being the largest tag cloud piqued my interest.

So, I took a look at the tag cloud and what would happen when I clicked on a tag. King of cool. It brings up a page with itmes from Digg, Youtube, Flickr, photostream anf others.

I did not see many tags that were library related. Curious since there are quite a few librarians out there using del.icio.us but I guess they are unaware of taggylicio.us

I may have to add some more tags to my Flickr and del.icio.us account in hopes they will appear in Taggys tag cloud.

Well not I off to do the second exercise. I will wither amend this post or write a separate on. Have fun and try out some of the links mentioned in this blog if you have never used them before.

More later,
Meredith
