Social Bookmark Tag Bundles

I have organized my social bookmarks tonight into tag bundles, something I had noticed was possible on other people’s social bookmark pages but never tried before. As with other things on del.icio.us, this is pretty straightforward to do. And free of course.

I think I prefer to view del.icio.us social bookmarks as a “cloud” rather than a “list,” and with bundle tags turned on. I categorized almost all of my social bookmark tags into eight different groups.

Before I started using del.icio.us as a free social bookmarking service, I had totally given up on saving website favorites / bookmarks. My lists were gigantic, unorganized, and so unwieldy that they were useless to me– and of course by definition (since they were just saved on one computer) not accessible by anyone else. Now I use my social bookmarks all the time, usually several times per day, whenever I find something online that I might want to refer to again. I have no idea (because there is not any tracking available on this) whether or not other people use my social bookmarks, but I have started using links to them in the articles that I write. That way, if someone does follow the link they can access an updated / dynamic list of websites, rather than just a static list that was up to date only as of the date I wrote the article. My personal tag that I probably update most frequently is ReadWriteWebTools.

I love social bookmarks. :-)

On this day..

    Nice idea to refer to your social bookmarks in your articles. I often thought about whether I should do this or not, and I didn’t get the idea that this could assure the actuality of the references. That’s great!

    Have you seen this social bookmarking site? Different than delicious, easier to use. Saw it when a friend was using.
