Delicious is, basically, a social bookmarking service. In a nutshell, that means that Delicious stores lists of bookmarks for me and tens of thousands of my closest friends, and we all get to see and search through each other's lists. Let me try to explain why this is so cool.

  1. First, all my Delicious bookmarks are taggable, meaning that, rather than having to choose just one folder in which to store a bookmark, I can assign each bookmark with as many unique keywords as I like.
  2. Second, Delicious bookmarks are searchable.
  3. Third, Delicious bookmarks are easily accessed in multiple ways through any browser or RSS reader.
  4. Fourth, Delicious bookmarks can be shared with others.

What is social bookmarking?

Delicious is a social bookmarking website, which means it is designed to allow you to store and share bookmarks on the web, instead of inside your browser. This has several advantages.

First, you can get to your bookmarks from anywhere, no matter whether you're at home, at work, in a library, or on a friend's computer.

Second, you can share your bookmarks publicly, so your friends, coworkers, and other people can view them for reference, amusement, collaboration, or anything else. (Note that you can also mark bookmarks on Delicious as private – only viewable by you – if you like.)

Third, you can find other people on Delicious who have interesting bookmarks and add their links to your own collection. Everyone on Delicious chooses to save their bookmarks for a reason. You have access to the links that everyone wants to remember. You can see whether two people have chosen to remember a link, or whether it was useful enough for a thousand people to remember – which may help you find things that are useful for you, too.

Getting started with bookmark buttons

The tastiest bookmarks on the web.

Save your own or see what's fresh now!

The Web is a big place, full of new and interesting things to discover. The problem is finding the good stuff and keeping track of it all. This is where Delicious can help.

Delicious is a Social Bookmarking service, which means you can save all your bookmarks online, share them with other people, and see what other people are bookmarking. It also means that we can show you the most popular bookmarks being saved right now across many areas of interest. In addition, our search and tagging tools help you keep track of your entire bookmark collection and find tasty new bookmarks from people like you.

All your stuff in one place.

Get to your bookmarks from any computer, anytime, anywhere.

Are you having a hard time keeping track of all the interesting Web pages you find? Would you like access to your bookmarks from any computer? Delicious can help.

Delicious keeps all your bookmarks in one place so you will never lose track of your bookmarks again. Since we store your bookmarks online, you can get to them from any computer, whether you're at home, at work or on the road.

Your bookmarks will organize themselves.

Tag your bookmarks. Collections will naturally emerge.

Folders were the old way to organize your bookmarks. They were great if you only had a few bookmarks and a few folders, but as your collection grew, it became harder and harder to decide what goes where. Delicious has a new and better way: tags.

Tags are simply words you use to describe a bookmark. Unlike folders, you make up tags when you need them and you can use as many as you like. This means, for example, that all of the bookmarks you tag with funny and video will automatically be placed in the "funny" collection and the "video" collection. Since tags work the same way for everyone, you can also check out other people's "funny" or "video" bookmarks. You can even combine tags to see bookmarks with funny and video.

For instance, if you find a recipe online that is both French and vegetarian, simply tag it with "french" and "vegetarian". As your collection of bookmarks grows, you'll see this bookmark on your 'vegetarian' tag page as well as your 'french' tag page. This is also a great way to share your knowledge with friends- as every tag page has an easy to remember URL that you can send on to interested parties.

Dish out your bookmarks to friends.

And see what others are sharing with you.

Do you like to share cool or funny Websites with your friends? Or do you know people who are always finding interesting stuff? Delicious hooks it all together.
