Once again, I fall behind the times. It is only this week that I discovered the site del.icio.us. The author of the site describes as a social bookmarks manager. Basically, it's a website where you can store your webpage bookmarks. This is definitely useful if you use multiple computers since you can have access to your bookmarks from any computer online.
But what makes the approach of the site novel is that you also have access to everybody else's bookmarks. On the front page, there is a list of the most recently added bookmarks to the system by anybody, and on the side there is a list of the popular topics by keywords. When you post a bookmark, you may enter a list of your own keywords to describe it. It's intriguing how the whole community starts to converge on using the same keywords for common topics.
It's a great way to find new webpages on themes you're interested in, as well as folks who track the same topics you do.

Posted by: Siona at September 18, 2004 11:39 AMThanks for the link. I try to save bookmarks every time I reformat but somehow many get lost. Could be a useful resource. I suppose everyone knows about bookmarkpriest for converting bookmarks between browsers?
