I resisted using delicious for a long time until my friend Jeff Widman gave me a push. I’m still not the best user, but here’s why I’m doing almost all of my bookmarks there now:
- Accessible from everywhere (in the cloud)
- Infinite space with no clutter
- Bookmark things according to tags so it’s all searchable
- Ability to share bookmarks and have them shared in return with select people
- Be able to point clients/peers/friends/family to an entire category of your bookmarks as a resource (ie. blogging basics or grammar tips or networking or whatever)
- They now are at delicious.com rather than del.icio.us which was just too cumbersome
I’m no power-user, but I am a user now, and that’s why. This post is in response to Karen’s request that I convince her to give it a chance. Karen, by the way, is a Twitter friend (@wisekaren). Twitter skeptics, you’re on notice.
