Delicious Social Bookmarking

Creating an account on Delicious was easy, I linked it from my Yahoo account.  It's a very interesting site, more useful than I first thought.  I knew the concept, but didn't realize how valuable it would be until I had to reinstall my computers factory settings where I lost all of my previous bookmarks.  Now, with this tool, my bookmarks will always be there, regardless of the computer I'm on or where I am.  I saved my most frequently viewed bookmarks that I didn't mind being shared, and also saved some that I hadn't visited before.  The tags were helpful in that I could just put in a tag description and thousands of sites came up.  I guess a challenge here would be if you were too broad about a topic, you would have more than enough options to pick and choose from, so the more precise a tag, the better off you will be in your site search.  I also viewed someone elses bookmarks by clicking their name.  I can say, this is what deferred me in putting personal bookmarks on the site, I'm not comfortable with someone else looking at my bookmarks yet...How hypocritical!  This is a good tool, and definitely a reflection of Web 2.0.  I like the overall concept and the fact your bookmarks are always available regardless of your individual surroundings.  If you can get on the internet, you can get to your bookmarks.
