Today I leaned why social bookmarking is cool – you can access your bookmarks from any computer, you can sort them and select them using tags and they are public so you can benefit from other people’s collections of tagged bookmarks on topics you also use.  I’m tagging videos and pages about howto blog at the moment, using the tags ‘howto’  and ‘blogs’ on the platform del.icio.us

It’s very easy to download delicious from google and save it as a button on your internet browser. www.nzherald.co.nz uses this bookmark.
