Thing 4

I signed up for a Delicious account and added most of my personal computer's bookmarks. I plan on adding my work computer bookmarks also. Having had computers crash and die before (thus losing all of my previous bookmarks), I can see the advantage of having them located at a separate site accessible anywhere. It will also be helpful to have all of my bookmarks in one spot, rather than different ones on different computers, etc. I found the adding and tagging of bookmarks easy. I didn't add a few that I wasn't sure I wanted accessible by others (bank login pages, etc), although I know I can limit who can view them. Privacy worries me slightly, which is one advantage of computer specific bookmarks.
I'm interested in trying the social cataloging sites too, hoping this will help me keep track of what I'm reading and get ideas from others.
I spent about one hour on Thing 4.

  1. Delicious is a great tool. It will save you a lot of time searching the Web once you find a trusted fellow tagger with similar interests!
