After poking around a bit in the PLCMLC2 del.icio.us, I decided to go out on my own limb and search for tags relating to Sims 3. Those who pre-ordered the game get it shipped out to them on February 20th, but I haven't yet made the decision to purchase the software.
So I decided to do some research. Now, I know that if I were to pop the search term "Sims 3" into Google, I'd get whatever Google deemed the most relevant and usefule links. However, in del.icio.us, the only problem I found in doing research concerning what the game would include was that there were multiple tags for the official Sims 3 website. But I guess that's just part of the nature of folksonomies.
One of the links I looked at broken videos (no sound!) but otherwise I learned a lot about the different features that Sims 3 will have. I like del.icio.us as a research tool, because the results are automatically sorted in a way - I mean, after all, it takes time to add something to a del.icio.us, so even if it's only an extra few seconds/mouse clicks, people aren't going to do it higgildy-piggildy.
