Del.icio.us

I love the Del.icio.us site at http://del.icio.us/.

I was referred to it by a book that I am reading on Wikinomics and quickly I learned how to make real butterscotch and how to refill Brita Water Pitchers filters for pennies.

I installed the little tool bar button and now any time I visit a site I enjoy I can save it by clicking the installed Del.icio.us button.  A dialogue box displays allowing me to add tags, notes and descriptions.  But best of all is that my tags are then aggregated with all others using Del.icio.us which are then grouped as a link for viewers to access. So at any time, the most popular sites are quickly visible when you visit the Del,icio.us site. 

For example, I found http://www.typepadhacks.org/2008/03/twitter-tools-t.html on the the home page of the website http://del.icio.us/.  It looked fascinating and I decided to save it and read it later. Before leaving the site, I clicked my Del.icio.us button to save it. Now when I return to the Del.icio.us site, I can access all the links I have saved for future reference. 

Another feature is that it builds communities.  It is available as a link in Vox on our blog so that people can click the Del.icio.us link and see all the favorites of the Blog author - in this case me. If you want to try it out, you can access my favorite links by clicking on my Del,icio.us link. It is right under my picture on my blog http://izzysworld.vox.com/ and has a square next to it filled with four colored squares.
