Infrequent updates and social bookmarking

Today is our sixth class and we are looking at Delicious.

My account name for Delicious is "Piff333", which is my standard fallback when I discover that "Piff" is taken, which is not actually that often.

At a fist glance, Delicious is rather odd. Despite apparently being a Gen Y-er I've never thought that social netowrking on the internet was that crash hot, it always seems to me to be rather pointless. My friends that were on social netowrking sites I usually saw often enough for me to wonder why I needed to visit their MySpace/Facebook/LiveJournal/Misc other scoial networking site to learn about the lastest in their lives if I could just ask them about it in a day or two.

I'm starting to warm up to the idea (even if I still don't check my emails every day) and see that it's not just about +friend counts, superpoke and comment wars.

Perhaps it's becuase I've been introduced to it with the idea that it can be a useful resource, instead of "Hey, I made some bookmarks on Delicious, you should so check it out!" that's made me change my ideas a bit, Or maybe it's the fact that by doing a bit of tag searching I've found some information that might potentially be useful for my research topic.


M Night Shyamalan on the Internet Movie Database, has a full list of movies that he's directed, written, and made himself, as well as some interesting facts and information.

A neat little movie, called "
Time to Dream". Done as an advertisement for American Express, where Shyamalan is the focus of a scene in a cafe.

  1. You have done a lot of work, Piff. These look like some good examples too.

    Well done
