1. Delicious: Social Bookmarking
Delicious is a social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing and discovering web bookmarks. When
we work from our own desktop or laptop computers, no doubt we have bookmarked our most-used or
websites. But there’s a problem… The only time those bookmarks can be accessed is if you’re on that
computer. In using Delicious, you can access your bookmarks ANYWHERE!

Note: Tagging is what makes Delicious social. By tagging your bookmarks, you can connect with others
who have used the same tags and in turn, you discover other websites that you may want to include in your
list of bookmarks.
