New bookmark tag: ToRead
I’ve started using a new tag on del.icio.us and so you’ll see this under some of the Web sites that get posted under my Links entries automatically published here on each day I bookmark a site on my del.icio.us account. The new tag is “ToRead”. As you may be able to guess, the point of the tag is to note that I have yet to read the contents behind the link. By adding this tag, it should be easy for me to find these sites when I have a bit of time to catch up on reading. The purpose of the tag here is twofold though. It also signals to you, dear reader, that the link under which this tag appears is not one I looked at much at all so you should not assume that I am familiar with its contents. I don’t guarantee that I have read the entire contents of the other sites either, but these I have glanced at so briefly that they may not even remain on my links list long-term. I guess they will remain on my blog though. In any case, just thought you should note this bit of change around here.

That is a good idea…I just have a folder in my bookmarks that I add things too. The problem is that just like the pile of journal articles in my ‘to read’ pile it just grows and grows and I can never seem to catch up.

Well, yes, this is certainly an experiment and I’ll see how it goes. For the most part, if I can’t find the time to read something right away then I usually figure I won’t ever. But having been on the road in the past week and gotten really behind, I realized that it would take a bit longer than usual to catch up. I want to avoid having a million things on the list, that sort of defeats the purpose. We’ll see.:)
