Delicious left a Bad Taste in my Mouth.


Delicious is the worst. Literally the worst site sharing website I have ever seen.


I logged in and was instantly lost. It is a white window with a left handed blue navigation. It is dumb. I started looking for all my classmates. It took me 7 minutes to find one person! For some reason the search did not like my "@name" searches or any variation of that. I finally found one person and when I did I just started following everyone she had. I assume they are all my classmates! Dumb.

Agreed.
I am actually surprised we are still learning about Delicious. Especially since there is this amazing thing called Pinterest!! Pinterest is my friend. The week that I found Pinterest I was "pinning" like a mad woman!


I have 62 boards and more than 4,000 pins and it is AWESOME! Everything is all organized and I can actually share links with my friends (Delicious and I still have not figured that out). It really is the "new Delicious".  Many of my teacher friends use it. They have tons of boards dedicated to lesson plans, field trip ideas, classroom decor ideas and more. My boards are more of the food and drink recipes, gift ideas, home decor, and holidays. Geez-there are more than 4,000 pins-go and check it out!

Pinterest even looks better than Delicious. Pinterest uses pictures to show of its link's content. Wait a second....that concept sounds familiar....OH YEAH! That is exactly what this degree plan has been preaching since EDTC 602. Using images to help instructors relate information to the learner! WHOA. Thats makes a heck of a lot of sense doesn't it? Which one do you want to work with just by looking at these images?

My Delicious Account.

My Pinterest Account.


I think the choice is clear. And I am also craving french fries. Dang you, Pinterest and your wonderful recipes and great ideas!!! 

As soon as this class is over my Delicious will be deleted. I am undeniably, happily addicted to Pinterest. I have to be loyal. 

Goodbye, Delicious. You kind of suck.
