I love this tool. For people who often uses the net this is a must have. Why?
How many of you found yourself asking... "What was that brilliant online article I read once?" or "I remember a great website, now where is it?" At this point making a Google search may help, but that's not always the case.
Well, this is the beauty of the net, you jump from one link to the other, and you ending up "travelling with no maps". Along the way you find precious treasures but for many reasons they get lost in the cyberspace.
Wouldn't be great to come back to them anytime with a click of your mouse? I bet it would!
It is possible with Del.icio.us.
If you haven't tried it yet, give it a go, I promise it will save you time and headaches one day.
Tip of the day:
If you have already been experimenting with this tool, and want to try another good one, try Delicious competence called Furl (I'm still wondering how you pronounce it f-u-r-l?) The address is a .net don't forget: http://www.furl.net/
I've been using furl for a while now. It works the same as delicious. You install the buttons on your computer and voila!
Both are pretty similar. Apparenlty the +++ of furl is that allows you to save a complete copy of any web page, so it lets you make a search not only by tags but also a full text search in case you forgot how you categorised an item.
At the library, this tool would be of great interest to staff attending patron's queries.
"By default" we tend to go straight to Google, which is an unbeatable resource, but sometimes we should make the most of other options like these online bookmarks.
