Thing 14 - Bookmarking with Delicious

Bookmarking with Delicious

In thing 13 you were introduced to the idea of social bookmarking and tagging. One of the greatest advantages of social bookmarking is that you can access and add to your collection of bookmarks from any computer. Aside from always being able to get to your bookmarks on any computer, Delicious allows you to see others who have sites with the same tags and benefit from their bookmarks.
