del.icio.us - Have you registered?

Have you discovered this?

There are billions of websites! We always come across new websites and also wish to bookmark them for later use. As usual, when you come across a new site which is interesting, you bookmark it using your browser. But, it can only be accessed on your PC using that same browser. This is the old system!

Well, there comes a new way that doesn't use a browser, it uses a website, a social bookmarking site that uses tags to save and arrange your bookmarks and it is social.

To begin, go to delicious.com to sign up for your free account. While signing up, you will be required to add two buttons on your browser; the my del.icio.us botton and the tag button. The tag button adds bookmark to your delicious account. Bookmarking websites is as easy as tagging them!

When you tag a website, you will be prompted to add more information like keywords or tags that describe the site. Once you save the page, the site is saved together with all your bookmarks on delicious.com.

Let me explain why delicious is so important; let's say you have hundreds of bookmarks; you choose a tag and get quick access to the list of bookmarks on under that tag and everything is categorized. You can also access your bookmarks from any other copy at any place as long as you are connected to the internet! - Easy!

The social part of delicious is that other people can find interesting sites you've discovered and also bookmark them too. Delicious is public, everyone discovers new and interesting websites. This means other users can also access your bookmarks and use them too!

Remember their are three steps to get started;

1st, go to delicious.com and signup a free account and add the button to your browser

2nd, start bookmarking websites with tags

Thats it, you are ready to go!

Though I've heard of it for long, I just joined and discover the power of delicious.com - my bookmarks are at http://del.icio.us/rufaai/
