del.icio.us bookmarking
del.icio.us is another great site you should sign up with!
After your blog is rolling along, I say what about 30 days, you'll want to sign up for del.icio.us.
- Start bookmarking favorite sites and topics with del.icio.us
- under "post" – add your own blog.
- get your friends and co-workers to load del.icio.us also and start marking your site. The more people who mark it, the search engines love you!
- You can also put a del.icio.us icon on your blog – go to settings, then blogging, then tag rolls, and cut and paste the hyperlink into your sidebar.
Look for other users tagging the same topics and add them to your network, by clicking on their name.
Technically speaking - The website del.icio.us (pronounced as "delicious") is a social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks. The site came online in late 2003 and was founded by Joshua Schachter, co-maintainer of Memepool. It is now part of Yahoo!.
A non-hierarchical keyword categorization system is used on del.icio.us where users can tag each of their bookmarks with a number of freely chosen keywords (cf. folksonomy). A combined view of everyone's bookmarks with a given tag is available; for instance, the URL "http://del.icio.us/tag/wiki" displays all of the most recent links tagged "wiki". Its collective nature makes it possible to view bookmarks added by similar-minded users.
