Two days ago I quoted something that cited Patrick Danowski’s 2006 blog post Warum del.icio.us für Bibliothekskataloge untauglich ist. As you might suspect from the title, it’s in German. Good news for those of you who read English but not German: Danowski has translated it! Translation: Why del.icio.us Is Ineffectual for Library Catalogs. Danke!
