and delicious
What is Delicious?
Delicious is a social bookmarking service that allows you to tag, save, manage and share Web pages all in one place. With emphasis on the power of the community, Delicious greatly improves how people discover, remember and share on the Internet.

Things you can do with Delicious
1) Bookmark any site on the Internet, and get to it from anywhere
2) Instead of having different bookmarks on every computer, Delicious makes it easy to have a single set of bookmarks kept in sync between all of your computers. Even if you're not on a computer you own, you can still get to your bookmarks on the Delicious website.
Share your bookmarks, and get bookmarks in return
1) If your friends use Delicious, you can send them interesting bookmarks that they can check out the next time they log in. Of course, they can do the same for you.

Delicious has a "hotlist" on its home page and "popular" and "recent" pages, which help to make the website a conveyor of internet memes and trends.


oh my geezus, SO many social bookmarkings and websites.. it is a headache. But to those who spend hours in front of your laptop with an insatiable desire to know all the important/witty/etc. articles written that day... feel free to join and browse... I am quite a fan of the 'popular' articles because it does somewhat keep me up to date when I don't read the paper. But organizing your "SB (social bookmarking)" is a job itself. Everything is a "MAKE IT YOUR OWN", very much like pageflakes and all the other hoohahs out there. But really, it is about finding that site that works for you. For me personally, email and morning paper does it.
