The "tag cloud" for the links collected in the resource base

Did you know that you can browse through the links in the resource base by "tags"?

The EGCRF Denmark focus group's links resource-base is being moved into a social-bookmarking system called del.icio.us. Mike has already "tagged" all the links and files from the old Vidensdatabase, so there are already 60 resources in 15 tags there.

One of the big advantages of using a system like del.icio.us is that great visualization tools become available. For instance, we have provided a "tag cloud view" for the focusgruppe's bookmarks, which makes it very easy to browse through the tags and related tags. Click on the tags to load, below the tag-cloud, the links with that tag as well as other tags 'related' to that one. You can then click on a related tag to see items tagged with both those tags, or click on the items themselves to view them in a new window.

There is a link to this tag cloud view at the top of the weblog pages. When you want to have a quick browse through the resources, that is a good place to start! All the resources are also "blogged" in this weblog - this gives a place where more information can be presented than in del.icio.us, and also offers an opportunity to comment on the resources by commenting on the weblog entry about a resource.
