del.icio.us

del.icio.us is something I have been seeing around the Internet on many web pages for a while now. I just was not sure what it was, but I am glad I found it. The idea of creating public bookmarks is an excellent idea, or even just create them on del.icio.us so that you can access them anywhere and anytime.

It includes a toolbar for your web browser, which I have not installed (I am not a big fan of these ad-ons to programs like Internet Explorer). The sites are also available by just going to http://del.icio.us and if someone else provides you with their username, you can start viewing each other’s favourite websites.

I have created an account: http://del.icio.us/mashton2 although I will be adding more websites over time!

The addresses can be easily shared. Rather than copying every single one of your favourites into a blog, which will eventually be archived anyway, you can post the web address as I have done in the previous paragraph as part of your signature for example.
