How I Use Delicious

Recently I’ve been asked a lot more about social bookmarking and the way in which I use it.  My social bookmarking platform-of-choice is Delicious.  I’ve used it since it’s early days and continue to find it to be the best tool for managing my bookmarks.  There are several other choices but Delicious remains the most popular and most widely used.

Besides using Delicious to solely save bookmarks that I find interesting or use often, I use the tool to create libraries of information that I then can share with you.  I consume hundreds of articles per day, usually upwards of 600-700.  I save the ones I think are the most useful up to Delicious in a carefully chosen set of tags.

Looking for something to cook tonight?  Check out my the recipes I find useful.  Want information on Facebook?  Head over to the Facebook tag.  Want to share something with me?  Easy.  Tag it “for:justinlevy” and I’ll receive it.  Looking for  something else that you can’t find?  You can use Delicious as a search engine to find articles that others found interesting on the topic.  You can then take it one step further and connect with those people to find out what other articles they found valuable.

Never tried using Delicious before or just starting out?  Check out this excellent video from CommonCraft:
