(That was must my random thought of the day.) Nonetheless, I now will disrespect it myself because I want to tell you what I LOVE today.
Delicious.
No, not the -- adjective: highly pleasing to the senses, esp. to taste or smell: a delicious dinner; a delicious aroma -- kind of delicious. I'm talking about the social bookmarking tool Delicious.
Delicious makes it easy to bring my bookmarks wherever I go. How often have you remembered something really cool that you intended to show someone, but realized that the bookmark was on your home computer or work computer? It happens to me a lot.
With Delicious, I can bookmark a page and come back to it later... wherever I am.
Another great feature is multiple tags. By using more than one tag, you can eliminate the inevitable mind-raking when you go back to find a bookmark.
Let's say you find an article about 15 Twitter tools that can save you time... Tag it with: Twitter, lists, tools, organization, timemanagement, etc. When you go back to look it up, any one of those tags will bring you to it. This is great for people like me who can never remember where I put something.
You can even look at your "tag cloud" that shows which tags you're using most often. It's pretty sweet!
Here's mine!
Last, but certainly not least, of my favorite features is its ease. Delicious has an application that works with Firefox that puts a button on your browser bar. When you want to bookmark a page, you just push and button and enter your tags. When away from your own computer, you can enter bookmarks through Delicious.com. And finally, a growing number of sites have a "share" button that includes adding the page or article to Delicious.
That's my quick and painless review. I highly suggest checking it out. It has made my life (or at least my bookmarks) much simpler and more organized. Ciao!
