#13 Delicious

First, the good news: the Delicious site can finally be found by searching for delicous.com without those infuriating dots (I always had to check whether I put them in the right place.)

A good summary of recent developments on the site is at:

Watched the YouTube video: Social Bookmarking in Plain English http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x66lV7GOcNU

Subscribed to Delicious using my blog login and added My delicious and Post to Delicious to my links toolbar. Searched a few favourite keywords and retrieved a few sites that were new to me.

I like the idea of being able to organise and sort my bookmarks. But the use of keyword "tags" is a fairly crude way of achieving that goal. I'd prefer some sort of hierarchical approach. I doubt if a proliferation of democratically-equal tags will solve the problem of a proliferation of bookmarks.

Given the constraints on my time, I'll probably use delicious to alert me to new sites and not bother to add tags.
