Delicious is one of the bookmarking websites that gives you the opportunity to share and store the webpages you admire the most. It is called “Del.icio.us” which is taken from the real name, but the domain was changed later on to delicious.com. There are 6 reasons why delicious.com is one of the most preferable bookmarking websites.
1. There is accessibility to your bookmarks everywhere you go
By far, this is considered the biggest benefit in general when it comes to social bookmarking. Most online users maintain several machines that they regularly surf between school, home, libraries, home, public, etc. Social bookmarking is the most beneficial way to access almost everything you save, since in one day you might use up to five or six different machines.
2. You can gather ideas
Since sometimes we can come across articles about things that we would like to encounter one day like, for instance, a trip abroad, we can them with specific tags. Afterwards, when we have some time, a list of ideas will be available in front of us for specific places and time periods.
3. You will be capable of sharing your bookmarks with everyone else
You can share your bookmarks in two different ways if you are planning to share them with your classmates, friends, coworkers, etc. You can separately create accounts on delicious.com, and make the link to your account applicable to the people you want to share the links you saved with. You can also create group/subject tags (business, work, marketing, forwork, blogging, etc.), and send under your account the URL with the preferable tag.
4. You can hold on to things that grab your attention
Most often we all require some inspiration. Save anything that grabs your attention to your bookmarks. For instance, tag great logo companies as logo inspiration and websites that are well-designed as webinspiration.
5. Action items can be organized
Any blogger usually comes across useful tips and tricks, and articles every day. S/he saves these articles for two different reasons. The first one is because they might be very good articles that s/he have benefited from and would like to share with everyone else. The second reason is because s/he thinks that s/he can use such articles later on to apply to his/her website. So, s/he starts by tagging these articles and other useful pages with descriptive keywords. The only difference this time though is that it includes “action.” When you take a look at his/her tag list, you will realize how an action will take place later on to improve his/her website.
6. You can construct a network
You can add other people who you find interested in the same things you are interested in to your network. If you add someone to your network, whenever you bookmark something that you feel is going to fulfill their interest, you will see them listed under Network Tags. Same exact thing will occur if someone in your network decided to share a link with you: you will receive a new message in your inbox.
