Del.icio.us

I can’t believe I didn’t do this a very, very, very long time ago. Delicious is what I’ve been trying to do with my bookmarks for the last eight years. How do you categorize a bookmark that’s about web programming, and OS X, and ruby? You add tags for all of them. I’m way behind the curve, here, but it feels really really good to finally have made it to a modern way to handle bookmarks.

Delicious also really drives home the power of folksonomies and tagging in a way that I just never understood before. Mentally understanding how tagging works and thinking it is cool is a long way from suddenly being able to find that bookmark that you only vaguely remember had something to do with CSS

Hooray.
