It's del.icio.us! What is del.icio.us? Del.icio.us is a place for you to store all your favorite websites with the ability to access them from any location. You can think of del.icio.us as an online bookmark.
To get started, go to http://del.icio.us, click on register, and complete the simple registration form. Once registered, you'll be given the option to add the del.icio.us icon to your web browser. I added the icon to my browser tool bar, and I stay logged into del.icio.us as I surf the web. When I find i website I want to bookmark, I simply click on the del.icio.us "TAG" icon, and the website is added to my del.icio.us account. As you add websites to your account, you can easily categorize your bookmarks by "tags" - you can think of a "tag" as a main folder containing many sub-folders. For example, you might create a tag called financial, and under financial have your bank's website, the website you use for stock quotes, and another financial related website. Using this set-up, when you click on financial, you will see all the websites you tagged with the word financial, making organizing your favorite websites easy.
Another great feature of del.icio.us, beyond being able to access your bookmarks from any computer, anywhere, is del.icio.us is a social bookmarking site. A social bookmark site means you can share your bookmarks with your friends, family, and co-workers. As an example, say you find a really great website explaining the fundamentals of molecular biology or quantum physics, you want to share with your friends. Tag your site, and send your friend the link to your delicious site. You can view my del.icio.us bookmarks by clicking here.

Enjoy your tech. Catch you next week!
