Was just wondering if anyone else here is using http://del.icio.us/ ?

del.icio.us is a bookmarking service. That is, rather than have your bookmarks stored locally with a specific browser, they are stored on a server at del.icio.us. This means that no matter where you go or what browser you use you have access to your bookmarks. You can also "tag" bookmarks, that is, classify a bookmark into one or more categories. In addition, the Firefox browser has some neat features which make marking and viewing del.icio.us bookmarks a snap.

But to say its just a bookmarking service would be to an understatement. It can be more accurately described as a social bookmarking service. It's social because of some rather interesting features:

 - you can view other people's bookmarks
- you can see who else has bookmarked the same page you have bookmarked
 - other's can view your bookmarks
 - you can subscribe to other people's bookmarks list
 - you can search your own bookmark list or others based on name or tag

To view my bookmarks:

To view my bookmarks which I have tagged as FLOSS:

  http://del.icio.us/rwcitek/FLOSS

Of course my list pales in comparison to Scott's bookmarks:

  http://del.icio.us/rsgranne

Anyone else got del.icio.us bookmarks?
