I have had an account with Delicious.com for years now. I started using their social bookmarking services when I was working as a Blogger for Families.com. While working there we were asked to open an account an "TAG" our blogs.
I still have my account along with the nearly three-years of fairly regular bookmarks. My link is right in MyBlogLog.com widget as one of the services I belong to.
Are you asking yourself, "What is Delicious?"
It took me a little while to figure it out myself, so don't feel silly for not understanding that Delicious is a social bookmarking service.
I can tell by the look in your eyes as you read "Social Bookmarking Service" that means something, but still no clue what?
Delicious.com allows users (me, and you) a free account to keep tags, as well as save, manage and share web pages. All offered from a centralized source. Delicious.com puts the emphasis on the power of the community, by offering a great tool for people to discover, remember and share information on the Internet.
With Delicious anyone can bookmark any site on the Internet, and then return to it from anywhere rather then needing new or different bookmarks on every specific computer itself (oh, I can't stand a new computer for that!) With Delicious your account holds a single set of bookmarks each one kept in sync between all of the computers you might use... Including turning on the New one for the first time. When using someone else's computer or one at a hotel, your bookmarks are there just as created right on the Delicious website.
Delicious is considered a "Social" bookmarking service, because not only do you have the ability to keep your bookmarks in order but, you share them with other users as well. Friends who use Delicious, can exchange interesting bookmarks, explore the site to find interesting users to network with. The Subscriptions and Network features can be used to keep track of Delicious tags and other users you find most interesting.
Delicious service can be added to a Feedburner Blog or as a Service on your MyBlogLog.com accounts and widgets. I am sure there are many other ways Delicious can be added and used in your social networking--but, being Blond the only things I can tell you are those I have figured out so far... Feel Free to add your comments about Delicious.com and let everyone know about how you have used Delicious.com Social Bookmarking Service.
Hang-Ten, for Now!

What is Social Bookmarking?
Social Bookmarking allows thousands of Internet users to keep their bookmark collections on a website instead just on their personal computer.
There are some huge advantages when users learn and use social bookmarks.
Anywhere at Anytime
By listing your bookmarks on a website rather then just on your own computer you will be able to access your favorite websites from anywhere or from any computer. The bookmarks are available backed up no matter which computer you use!
Social Bookmarks make it possible to Share with Others
Most bookmark sites are public and available for anyone to use or read. This makes it possible for you to see what other people have found interesting and share your own bookmarks with others.
Users can Find the Best on the Web based on the input of people, and not a machines
With social bookmarking, only bookmarks other people think are worth keeping can be found.
One of my new favorite social bookmarking websites is Ma.gnolia because this site rate and tags instantly this offers users an idea of what other people think about a bookmark and make web searches more informed than it ever has been.
I have been using del.icio.us for years now and found it very handy when I got my new laptop when it came to finding all the places I like to visit while on a clean computer!
Social bookmarking is a lot like having a community of expert assistants help find what is being looked for!
When you sign up for a social bookmarking account you can easily add any site or page of a site to your bookmarks. You might also be noticing that many websites and blogs offer their readers links to quickly and easily add a book mark.
If you notice in the right column of this blog there are several options listed where readers can add a bookmark with little more then a click!
So what is stopping you? Why not get an account and start bookmarking the things you find interesting on the Internet!
