Social bookmarking is a great idea, especially for those who like to save a lot of sites as favorites. I'm going to have to get Alan to sign up for this since his "favorites" list is long and hard to sort through. For me, I realize, once again that I'm not the computer/internet junky that I have the potential to be. I realize I don't play on the internet, I use it as a tool only.
I signed up for my del.ici.ous account and when it asked to import my current bookmarks, I quickly looked through my list of favorites to see what I had saved. The results: one site on "4th grade math problems." The rest were a list supplied by my IE browser which mostly consisted of sites that I, or those I share a home computer with, have frequently visited. YouTube is one of the sites, since my daughter loves that site another was a bank site since Alan does online banking (I don't).
Since I don't have any favorites, I did some del.ici.ous searches. I looked up "23 Things" and found a lot of blogs from libraries around the country. I searched under "travel." This brought up sites for cheap airfare as well as travel blogs that people have posted. I searched under "cheap cruises" and found lots of sites advertising cheap cruises.
I can see the uses of this. In a way it's better than Google, since there sites have a "recommended" quality to them since someone has bookmarked them as "a keeper."
What a yummy learning experience, definitely del.ici.ous.
