Delicious

Out of all the new social bookmarking sites, given their slight differences to achieve similar goals, my favorite is Delicious. I like delicious because its really ease use, its organized well, and the layout is straightforward and simple. When you join they also give you a nice walk through of how to tag, add bookmarks, and use some of the sites other features. Here is a screen shot I took of my Bookmark page. As you can see the layout is pretty basic: I'm a relatively new member to delicious so I have only really used it to help me keep track of my favorite sites and share them with other people; however the site offers much more utility and depth. Delicious offers improved efficiency in browsing and it connects users to users with similar interests via tags and bookmarks. As I get more familiar with the site, the advantages in connecting people via tags and bookmarks are much more obvious; these tools are accurate measures of taste, and specific interests based on website interests. With delicious you can find a user who is interested in websites you are, you can track his path and efficiently browse the internet via the sites he bookmarks. Here is a link to my bookmark page's RSS feed. It is a feed of the sites I find and I like.
