Delicious - easier to pronounce than I thought!

Del.icio.us is the first tool CHPLearning has presented that I really knew nothing about. I think I've been intimidated by trying to pronounce it - I can spend long minutes trying to form a practical pronounciation in my mouth that isn't the obvious, without-periods way. Now I find out that the obvious is right. And Del.icio.us has even officially changed it's name to Delicious! (Now it's without a period. Is it now male?)

So now I'm ready to try it.

And I find that it looks really useful! I've never liked Favorites - I work at lots of computers, I don't like the time it takes to create an organizational structure, I never think to look in the Favorites folder. Using the Save to Delicious button is simple, and tagging is a much better way to identify what's key about a site. I'm looking forward to bookmarking with Delicious. The social aspect is cool - not that I care who sees my bookmarks, or expect to share them with others, but it is fun to chase down tags and see what sites they identify and how people put tags together. I haven't had occasion to create tags myself until this blog, but I like using them, and as I get used to using them I think they're going to bring about a big change in how I organize and search.
