I’ve seen the Delicious logo on several sites I’ve browsed to over the last several years but never looked into what it was or did, nor did I have any friends that talked with me about it. Now that I’ve given the Social Bookmarking site a chance, I can see that it can be a useful tool that has given new life to the run of the mill bookmark that we only used to be able to save on our local computers.

Delicious was easy to set up and use from the beginning. Since I already had a Yahoo account, it was able to use those credentials and create a Delicious account from that information.

Once I got on the site and created a few bookmarks, I browsed through a few of the other users on the site and saw how they had tagged the same site that I also bookmarked.

Delicious would be useful in a business environment or for personal use. Bookmarks are part of everyday life for everyone that uses a computer, both personally and professionally. Delicious allows you to have all bookmarks in one place instead of saved statically in one location. This is especially helpful if you use multiple computers on a daily basis.

There are several privacy settings that you can adjust to your liking. By default, all bookmarks are public. You can adjust each link’s setting on whether or not you want everyone or just maybe your friends to see it. You can also manage how people can view your friends or any networks you may be in.
