week***6 # 13 del.icio.us


del.icio.us is a social bookmarking website, which means it is designed to allow me to store and share bookmarks on the web. This has several advantages.

First,I can get to my bookmarks from anywhere, no matter whether I am at home, at work, in a library, or on a friend's computer.

Second,I can share my bookmarks to publicly(but i'm still thinking about that), so my friends, coworkers, and other people can view them for reference, amusement, collaboration, or anything else.

Third,I can find other people on del.icio.us who have interesting bookmarks and add their links to my own collection. Everyone on del.icio.us chooses to save their bookmarks for a reason.I have access to the links that everyone wants to remember.I can see whether two people have chosen to remember a link, or whether it was useful enough for a thousand people to remember -- which may help me find things that are useful for me, too.
