sMoRTy71.com: Started using del.icio.us

Tuesday, January 4, 2005

I have had del.icio.us on my list of sites to try for several months; however, I had never gotten around to setting up a membership.

Today, after reading this article on the emergence of user-generated taxonomies ("folksonomies") on sites like del.icio.us and Flickr, I decided to give it a shot.

Basically, del.icio.us is like Flickr for links. You can create a list of bookmarks that you tag with keywords. Others can then view your bookmarks based on the keywords you use or by going to your user page. If you've used Flickr's Tags feature, you'll be able to figure out del.icio.us tags.

I have only put a few links in so far; however, you can check out my page here:
