del.icio.us? At first, it sound lot like delicious to me. To break down between dots, Del is sub-domain name, icio is domain name and .us is country code for domain name, for instance: us is United States.
I have my del.icio.us bookmarks: daveynin.
del.icio.us is social bookmarking, social software web service for storing and sharing web bookmarks, launched in late 2003 with very simple web interface design. I joined del.icio.us in early 2004 to check this out, during that time it has become very popular for bloggers and social networking.
During bad times, the web loading in del.icio.us is extremely slow, and I surrender myself. I tried to come back in a week or months later, and the problems continued, so I quit del.icio.us. Few weeks ago, I decided to give a final try, and it came back to normal, and I am very happy with that. I have no idea why I visited that site with bad luck of my time for slow loading times.
Before del.icio.us, I have four machines I am using (my PC home computer, Mac laptop, my two work computers (intranet/internet), I bookmarked one of the web site on single machine, and even not in another 3 machines, I had a trouble with my memory which I am trying to remember which four machines I bookmarked the website on web browser.
Thanks to del.icio.us, I am able to add my favorite web site into my del.icio.us account - to store my favorite bookmark into their network database. I can find bookmark whenever I need to re-visit in any place - work, labs and visitor's house. Keep in mind: Everything posted the bookmarks in del.icio.us is publicly viewable, and it is not a tool for storing private bookmark collectors.
I find extremely benefits to have tags in del.icio.us site, similar as I discussed in my blog entry #674 about tags in Flickr. For example, if I bookmark the Digital Camera resource, and the most common tags are photography, camera, digital, reviews, and reference. I need to find a name of tag, 'camera' to get the result of all of my bookmarks links related only to digital camera sites.
Oh, one more last thing to show you: I added my del.icio.us link section on right side bar, click this to toggle. This list shows the most recent links I posted in my del.icio.us.
Is my del.icio.us bookmark tasty? I'm addicted.
