Delicious - Managing Bookmarks Online

Have you ever had difficulty keeping all of your bookmarks organized? Do you have a different list of favorites on your desktop, your laptop and on your home computer and are always at the wrong place to access what you need? If so, you need Delicious. Delicious is a web-based bookmark tool and more. Accounts are free and you can download a very simple tool that helps you capture and upload bookmarks. Then, these bookmarks are available from any Internet-connected computer you happen to be using. Plus, Delicious lets you “tag” your bookmarks for better organization and, if you choose to, allows other users to search your tags (and you can search theirs as well) to find sites that they might wish to visit. If you would like to try it out, visit www.delicious.com. If you would like further assistance in setting up a Delicious account of have questions, contact Len Levin (X6-6028 or len.levin@umassmed.edu) in the Lamar Soutter Library.
