How to Tag Hurricane Katrina Bookmarks on del.icio.us

The blog entry titled Tagging for Katrina on You're It! has great information about tags, tagging blog entries on Technorati, and a table of suggested tags.

However, I have not seen an entry yet about tagging for Hurricane Katrina on del.icio.us.

What is del.icio.us?

Del.icio.us is a great tool to share bookmarks with others. When you add a bookmark, you add tags that are related to the link.

How can del.icio.us help you find and share Hurricane Katrina related websites?

You can find and share:

  • News articles about Katrina
  • Organizations who are helping out
  • Information about volunteering and donating
  • Information about missing people and people who have been found
  • Information about missing pets and pets who have been found
  • Education websites about Hurricane Katrina and Hurricanes

Finding bookmarks tagged by others

By adding tags to your bookmarks, it helps others find bookmarks you use.

For example, you are looking for bookmarks related to Hurricane Katrina that are tagged with hurricanekatrina.

How do you find these bookmarks?

Example:

http://del.icio.us/tag/hurricanekatrina

http://del.icio.us/tag/tagname goes here


What if you wanted to find a bookmark that uses both a hurricanekatrina tag and neworleans tag?


Example :

http://del.icio.us/tag/hurricanekatrina+neworleans

http://del.icio.us/tag/tagname goes here + tagname goes here


Hurricane Katrina related tags

Listed below are Hurricane Katrina related tags and the del.icio.us links to the tags that might have resources to help you. I am sure there are more tags, but this is a start.
