I will have to admit that because of all the many different things I do in my life I have accumulated over 1,000 bookmarks in my web browser! But, what would happen if  something happened to my computer or a file was corrupt? All those years of bookmarking would be gone! I had been previously use Foxmarks which is a great Firefox extension that synchronized the bookmarks on my computer with a webserver which is also great, if you have many computers and need your bookmarks synchronized between them all. However, I wanted to share some of my bookmarks with the world so they know what I think are the best.

I had heard of Delicious before, and decided to give it a try and I have now been hooked! I imported all my bookmarks and allowed Delicious to automatically tag them (big mistake, I now have over 1000 tags as well) I now have all of my bookmarks online now and I can share my favorite sites with everyone and if there are still things I don’t want to share then I can just keep them private and can access them from anywhere in the world. You can also get a delicious extension for Firefox which will allow you to automatically add browser bookmarks to your delicious account. The tags you add allow you easily access the bookmarks you want. My friend Michael Plasmeier said he uses Delicious as a “micro-blog” where he can give quick links to his favorite site and Delicious is great for that!

PS. My most recent Delcious bookmarks are on this website’s sidebar!
