For those of you who have not already joined Delicious (www.delicious.com) and experienced all of its convenience...I highly recommend you do so. Users may argue over which aspects of Delicious are the most beneficial but few can argue over how useful it is to be able to access your most visited websites from any computer, anywhere, and at any time. Delicious allows it's users to save links to the site rather than to your personal computers and whichever internet host you use. Aside from not having to worry about losing this information, you no longer need to worry about crowding your browsers and toolbars with tons of bookmarks. Another great feature is that you can tag your findings under categories that later become "bundles" that allow you to easily find information related to that topic rather that scrolling through a list of hundreds of links. Not only is Delicious great because of these features but it may also be one of the best ways to search for quality information. Unlike Google and other search engines, the sites linked in the Delicious community have already been viewed by users. Now this isn't to say that some people don't save links to false or misleading information but it sure beats scavenging through dozens of pages of results on Google where you are sure to stumble upon numerous sites that are outdated, no longer exist, or contain more opinion based information. To make the search engine feature even more useful, users are able to join the networks of other users whose links have proven to be of good, reliable quality.
