I'm sure you, like me, have seen colleagues who have a complete screen full of icons on the PC, and/or have a labyrinth of bookmarks in the relevant menu options of their browser. And then on their PC at home, a completely new set of bookmarks, still equally disorganised.Enter del.icio.us - or to be exact http://del.icio.us Firstly, a dastardly clever use of the .us domain country ending, and then a darn useful website to boot. More recently bought up by Yahoo!, the del.icio.us website is for your bookmarks - you store them on the site for your future use. The twist is that everyone else can have access to them too, and before you gasp in disbelief, I see it as an opportunity, not a threat.
Each bookmark has tags associated with them, single words that you choose to help classify your bookmark. Say for example you have lots of bookmarks about cars, you may choose "BMW" to be a tag or "Mercedes" or whatever. Then, when you have multiple "BMW" bookmarks you can see them all together.
The added twist with del.icio.us is that you can see how many other people have registered the same bookmarks as you, and how they have tagged them - moreover, by looking at other sites they have tagged with the same description, you could then find new sites which are very useful for what you do. The possibilities are enormous, and it's free.
