What Is Del.icio.us?
Del.icio.us is a Web site where you may store links to Web sites. They call these links “bookmarks.” Italso called a “social bookmarking” site. We’ll talk more about what that means later.
What are the benefits of Del.icio.us?
There are several benefits to using Del.icio.us.1. Because you are able to store links to useful Web sites in one place, you can free up space on your computer’s desktop. Sometimes we may have so many icons on a desktop that it becomes difficult tofind a link. Because of this, the same site might be saved on the desktop several times! WithDel.icio.us, you can give one link several “tags.” Tags are keywords or names you assign to the Website to help you find a link again more easily.2. Because your bookmarks are saved on a Web page, you can access them from any computer! Thismeans you do not have to go through the trouble of saving links to helpful sites on every computer youuse.3. Another benefit of Del.icio.us is that it is a “social bookmarking” site. This means that you can seewhat Web sites other people are bookmarking on topics of your choosing. This may lead you todiscover additional sites that may be helpful to staff and patrons.
