Delicious is a great bookmarking tool that has been around. It is something I always knew about, but I never took the time to actually sign up and start using it. Well, I finally took the opportunity to get set up and I'm glad I did! Delicious is great for a few reasons:
1) It puts all your favorite links and URLs in one safe place
2) You can access your Delicious account from any computer
3) You don't have to worry about losing your favorites if your computer crashes or is reimaged
4) It has a lot of features so you can find what other people are bookmarking for a particular topic
I didn't realize that Delicious is actually social bookmarking. I always just thought of it as a place to store all of the links to the sites I regularly use. It didn't occur to me how useful it could be to search what others are bookmarking. I really like the tagging aspect of Delicious. My lists of favorites on my Internet Explorer can be overwhelming. Half of the links are put in folders when I started to organize, but the rest are just in a long list that has no rhyme or reason. Tagging makes organization simple. You can view everything you bookmarked at once or you can choose a tag and narrow things down.
From an educator's standpoint, Delicious is a great way to keep your life a little more organized. There are so many great resources that I find online, but there is no way I could keep up with all of them on my own. Delicious allows me to have a one-stop shop to put all the URLs I use in, and it's great for personal and professional use!'
