In the future I will use mapping before I use a search engine. Mapping will allow me to narrow my search and save the results which I can use for future reference when needed. I enjoyed using mapping to search instead of a search engine. In the past it has been difficult to narrow down material that actually fits what I am searching. Mapping will allow me to save the information that fits my search and criteria. This will make future searching less time consuming.
As a teacher, I can see that students would have a broader search with a search engine versus mapping. I could also see students getting into things that are inappropriate if searched outside the school where various sites are filtered and blocked. Mapping would allow parents to "block" various sites as well.
Delicious would allow me to organize the sites I visit the most. It would also allow me to add information that I deem important either personally or professionally. I will definitely be using this feature in the future. In fact, I plan to pull some things from my Pinterest boards to this site in order to access them easier.
