| When you hear the word DELICIOUS what do you think about? Chocolate? Cake? Lobster? Well now think of del.icio.us as a way to save your internet favorites or bookmarks and have access to that list from any computer!
del.icio.us (that is the URL, no www or .com) is a website where you can save your list of favorite websites and access them from anywhere � perfect for clustering! To register at the site all you need to provide is a username, password and email address. When I tried to use just my email address (without @kcls.org) it was already taken. However, I added kcls after my email address and it worked fine. To post items to your list, you need to add a link to favorites. This is possible as you register. If you need to add it to subsequent computers, you can access the instructions under Help/Browser/Browser Buttons. Tagging and Notes. You can add notes about the site you add to your list as well as �tags.� Tagging is adding keywords to help you locate the site in the future. You can view search results as a tag cloud rather than just a straight listing (similar to the word cloud in Aquabrowser). Use del.icio.us to locate popular sites. If you are asked a question about a topic you are not familiar with, you can search for it on del.icio.us. It will return results showing how many other members have bookmarked that site.
