Del.ic.ious

Delicious is a great way to save your internet bookmarks. I imported my bookmarks from my school computer and I plan to do the same when I get to my home computer. I can't tell you how many times I have wanted to pull up a website at one place or the other only to realize that it was bookmarked in the OTHER computer! I also like the fact that when you read an article that is worthy of saving, you can bookmark it directly from that site. For example, in "playing around" with the site shortly after opening myself an account, I went to the Leaf-Chronicle website and read an article about drug companies and the FDA trying to stop the sales of cold medicines for children under 4 years old. I thought this was a good article to keep and use in my Child Development class. The LC site has the bookmark links on each article page, so I simply clicked on the icon I recognized for del.ic.ious, on the next page that popped up I think I had to click SEND, and when I looked at my delicious account, it was in there! Very cool.
