January 8th, 2006I use del.icio.us a lot. It’s a social bookmarking service. When I see a page I like, instead of bookmarking it in my browser, I activate a del.icio.us Firefox extension to add it to my del.icio.us page (which is del.icio.us/ltr). I can tag the page with descriptive words. Simple as pie!
There are a lot of cool, subtle things that can come out of this. You can subscribe to other peoples’ bookmarks. You can see what other people have bookmarked for a specific tag, like pirates. You can tag things to recommend them to other users. And a bunch of other things which are so simple but so great. I just wanted to point out that I added a little WordPress plugin to the ride side of my main page so you can see the 10 most recent things I’ve added to del.icio.us. It’s a good snapshot of what I’m interested in at any given point.
Click on “more” to go straight to my del.icio.us page, or “feed” to subscribe to my bookmarks as an RSS feed.
