Thing #13 - The del.icio.us Thing

A handy resource for reference use in that the most popular sites are most likely to be the most reliable (you'd hope!). Either everyone using and tagging that site for future use, are all right or all wrong about it!.

Reading the comments of other users that have saved the link, answers a lot of "what's that?!" questions too. I am all trusting in Librarians not wanting to misinform the greater population, where they tag, I will follow!

Using del.icio.us, at a more personal level, it is good for organsing all your favourite websites. Grouping related sites together on the same page. The comments and descriptions that you put in for each saved link, are handy to remind yourself why that link was saved in the first place!

In addition, you can take those favourite links/sites with you to any PC that has internet access rather than using the age old add 'favourites' and 'bookmark' buttons to the one computer you have saved them on to begin with.
