Delightfully del.icio.us!

With over 15 billion web pages, it's about time we get a chance to organize our bookmarks. Before del.icio.us, we were limited to bookmarking our favorite websites on our web browsers. This new method of bookmarking works on a website which allows access to ones bookmarks from other computers.

Slacker Manager provides eight 'Habits' which are bound to reel in new users to sign up. Among the many tools del.icio.us provides, my favorites are the organizing of bookmarks and the social side to del.icio.us. Organizing the bookmarks are done through tagging. Tagging also enhances networking by allowing users to view what others are bookmarking. This allows a user to find the most interesting site.

I am a beginner and look forward to mastering del.icio.us. This reading helped pave a cleaner road to understanding how social bookmarking functions.
