del.icio.us is a social bookmarking website that categorizes everything using tags, which are basically your own little one-word description of a website. You can put as many tags you want on a specific bookmark to put it into multiple categories, which are then viewable to everyone else. The other cool part about this site is that other people can then see your bookmarks, or search for popular sites in a certain category. My bookmarked sites are here: del.icio.us!
Umm…. what happened to delicious? It seems to have died for a while… hopefully it will be up and running before the hour, because it has said this on its site for the last 5 hours: “del.icio.us is down for maintenance. we’ll be back in one hour.”
Well, del.icio.us is back online. Also, it was purchased by Yahoo!. Interesting, indeed. We’ll have to see where this takes us.
