I wish everyone used del.icio.us to share bookmarks. It’s such a great service that I’ve been thinking of doing a few posts on some of the more useful features.
I never understood why I might want to save my bookmarks online as the browser does a great job. However, once I discovered the del.icio.us extension for Firefox my eyes were opened to how easy it was to quickly save a bookmark for future reference. Bookmarks are saved and a tag is assigned to the link in order to categorize it. As with Flickr, it’s tagging that makes del.icio.us so powerful and easy to use.
Andrea and I send each other links and it’s great. See a site you think might be of interest to your buddy? Save it with the for:username tag and that person will see it on their personal del.icio.us page. Very handy and easier than sending an email.
So, take the above video as entry 1 in the del.icio.us series. To get started browse to the Popular page and get your feet wet. If you already use del.icio.us, send me your username and I’ll add you to my network.
