What del.icio.us Is.

I love del.icio.us.

It is an online bookmark manager. Instead of bookmarking a site in their web browser, people click their del.icio.us bookmarklet to save it to the del.icio.us website. Then it doesn't matter where they are - at the library, at their friend's place, at school - they have access to all their bookmarklets. They simply go to the del.icio.us website. For example, here's mine.

A cool side-effect of del.icio.us is that they publish the most linked-to sites each day. So you can go to this third-party website to see the most popular ideas/memes of the day. What's even better is that everything in del.icio.us has an associated feed!).

I love the fact that I can get at my bookmarks even when I am away from my home computer.
