Am I slow? I've discovered del.icio.us today which is a social bookmarking tool. This tool enables people to bookmark websites in the same way you would on your own computer but it is stored on the web, meaning that it can be used when you away from your own computer and it can be shared with others. Yep, more networking!
How does it work?
Sign up to del.icio.us so that you can use this tool. After you join up you can bookmark your favourite sites. When you find a new website that you want to access again in the future tag it in del.icio.us with key words that describe it's content. Your del.icio.us tags can be shared with others who are looking for similar sites or topics. Here's an instructional video.
The best thing is, if you are involved in a group who are interested in the same topic area you can share the load by sharing your bookmarks!
