del.icio.us


  • The website del.icio.us is a social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks.
  • Del.icio.us was established by Joshua Schachter in late 2003.
  • Back in December 09, 2005, Yahoo acquired del.icio.us from its founder.
  • A combined view of everyone's bookmarks with a given tag is available in the del.icio.us website.
  • Del.icio.us’ collective nature makes it possible to view bookmarks added by similar-minded users.
  • CNET Reviews of deli.icio.us transpired back in September 20, 2006.The del.icio.us website was reviewed Elsa Wenzel and Robert Vamosi from CNET Reviews. According to the September 20, 2006, at a glance CNET Reviews, editors’ rating of del.icio.us is 7.3 [which equates to] very good.
  • Some of the positive points identified by the CNET Reviews editors include, “…Imports bookmarks from Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari; tags pages by topic; lets you share bookmarks with other people; has a dead-simple interface; browser toolbar allows quick bookmarking; saves up to 5MB of content.”
  • Some deficient aspects revealed by the CNET Reviews editors indicate that, “Del.icio.us doesn't detect broken links, or merge similar tags; doesn't preview bookmarked pages; no easy way to delete multiple bookmarks at once."
  • All in all, the outcome of Wenzel's and Vamose's rating from CNET Reviews is that, “Del.icio.us lets you save, import, and tag bookmarks without fuss. As the most popular take-it-with-you bookmarking service, Del.icio.us can be a powerful tool for sharing content with other users."
  • As I further examined the del.icio.us website, I realized that their blog space is uncensored. I was flabbergasted when I happen to stumble upon an unsightly section captioned “Secret to Super Productivity” where profanity was obviously visible.
