How I’ve tagged my bookmarks in del.icio.us

What is del.icio.us and what are tags?

del.icio.us is a website that lets you save information about web pages you want to return to or share with others.

You can label each page with tags to help you find them again.

Below is a tag-cloud of the terms I’ve used to label the sites I’ve bookmarked. The larger the term, the more I’ve used it.

Where do you keep track of websites and pages you want to return to?

If you use Firefox you’ll be familiar with the term Bookmarks. If you use Internet Explorer, you’ll call them Favorites (sic!). These systems are ok, but not if you use more than one computer and/or web browser to access the internet.

del.icio.us is a website that lets you save your bookmarks so you can access them no matter where you are.

And not only can I access my bookmarks, annotate and tag them, but I can also share them. Anyone can see what I’ve bookmarked, and I can see what everyone else has bookmarked.
