Bookmarks!

I just want to (for the umpteenth time, perhaps) recommend an internet service that you might find of use:
del.icio.us

I know the name sounds like something cooking-related, but no! It's bookmarks.  Social bookmarks.  (that thing IE users call "favorites"... a word that should only be used to tag male slaves.)

Recently, a good friend found herself losing a bunch of her bookmarks by accident, and I was reminded of what a fine service del.icio.us provides.

del.icio.us is like... portable bookmarks.  You store bookmarks in there and they are available to you from any computer.
Of course, these bookmarks are public, so don't go posting anything too private there, as others will also see it.
But for the rest of the stuff (especially if you want to check something at home that you bookmarked at the office) it's priceless.

Be sure to give it a look.

If you want to check my portable bookmarks, they are here.  Signing up is free and if you use firefox you can get the del.icio.us extension that adds a button to your navigation bar allowing you to tag and save stuff to your del.icio.us account with just one click.  It's really simple, and as usual, if you feel like using it but have questions, don't hesitate to ask me. =] 

I've chosen to share my bookmarks openly (hence why they are linked in my journal's layout) but you might choose not to.  It's up to you. ^_~
