**Social Bookmarking **
Delicious is a social bookmarking website that allows you to "tag," catalogue, and share websites. Unlike your "favorite" pages saved in Internet Explorer, these bookmarks can be accessed from anywhere and by anyone you invite. Delicious also can be used as a search engine, allowing you to browse what others around the world are bookmarking by searching different "tag" words (try searching your content area for example).

To set up your delicious account, go to [] and click the green "join now" button to get rolling. To get the most out of Delicious, you will also want to install the toolbar buttons so you can easily "tag" websites as you come across them.

=Organizing Your Bookmarks =

Once you tag items, they will be saved under your delicious account and catalogued under whatever "tag" you assigned them. When you go to your account, you can click on the tag tab and see a "cloud" of all of your tags. The larger the word, the more websites you have saved under that tag. Below is my "tag cloud." Please be aware that I have way too many tags...214! i Recommend putting some thought into how you will tag items and do so consistently. I am trying to find time to reorganize this mess, but for now, I manage to find what I need!

== =Sharing Your Bookmarks =

Since Delicious bookmarks are hosted on the web, they can be shared with friends, colleagues and even students. You can share your entire Delicous account, giving full access to all of your bookmarks, or just share specific tags.

By sharing the url of your delicious account home page, all of your bookmarks are accessable. For example, here is the link to all 477 of my delicious bookmarks: [] ...feel free to browse the sites I have tagged.

You can also just share specific tags by opening that tag on your account page, and sharing that specific URL. For example [] contains only those websites I have tagged as "web2.o".
