Description:
Delicious is a social bookmarking site that allows a user to save their Internet bookmarks online. Instead of saving bookmarks to your computer's web browser, you are saving them to the web and can access them anywhere with an Internet connection. This is a great way that users can collect, organize and search through bookmarked websites, especially if they frequently use multiple computers. The "bookmarking" uses tags which help you to save, organize, and identify all of your favorite websites. So, why is it "social" bookmarking? Users can search bookmarks of other Delicious members and easily share them with co-workers and friends.
