Delicious

Nope, this post isn’t about food! Delicious is a FREE social bookmarking service. What does that mean? Delicious allows you to save all your favorite Web pages by bookmarking them online, share them with others, and see what other people have found and bookmarked! Since your bookmarks are online you can access them from any computer.

Delicious also allows you to organize your bookmarks into categories of your choosing. You might be used to creating folders to organize your bookmarks. Delicious uses a term called tags. A tag describes a bookmark. You can tag a bookmark with more than one tag. For example, you might have a website that is a game for second graders. You can tag it as both “game” and “second grade”. This one website would be on both the “game” and “second grade” tag page.

If all your friends have Delicious you can exchange bookmarks with them through Delicious. This way you can save the great sites they found too. You can also add them to your Network and are able to see what they are bookmarking.

Another neat feature of Delicious is that the Home page shows the most popular bookmarks on Delicious. By choosing a tag based on your interest you can find just about anything- tavel, news, food, etc!

Bookmarking with Delicious is quick and easy. Depending on the web browser you use, they have an add-on where you install quick buttons that allow you to use the features of Delicious with one click.
