I start this post with my sincere respect-appreciation-adulation for those who dedicatedly make a blog post everyday.
I’ve always wondered what all those words beneath every popular blog post are: Digg, Delicious, Reddit, Newsvine, etc.. Stopped wondering n found out!.. del.icio.us is a social bookmarking site that allows you to store and share links to your favorite webpages. In their own words: “del.icio.us is a social bookmarking website — the primary use of del.icio.us is to store your bookmarks online, which allows you to access the same bookmarks from any computer and add bookmarks from anywhere, too.”
A very useful site when you’re doing research on a particular topic and you want to store all those links you found. Also, you could depend on del.icio.us (pretty hard typing out that name!try another name guys) to find more coz everyone would be putting up their favorite(& most useful) links on the same topic. You can have tags associated to the links to have easier recall and also for better library maintenance.
The site, interestingly, started out as a pet project by the founder Joshua Schachter, who was a Morgan Stanley employee. It was called memepool.. Here’s a nice read on how it all began: 2006 Young Innovator.
I looked up the recent tags and zeroed in on this beautiful collection of pictures: The most amazing pics from StumbleUpon.
Btw, for the many inventors on the Web, here’s some motivation – the site was bought by Yahoo for $30+ million.
Cya.
