Is it delicious?

I will be coming back to post about myspace when I can actually get the verification email to come through so I can create one! Until then, here is my thoughts on delicious.com.

Social bookmarking can be a useful tool for research as you can see the sites others have found useful and possibly notes on why they felt the site was worthy. I felt that the notes section was redundant in nature because so many people did not post original thoughts and it was just the same message over and over again.

I also think that by storing bookmarks on a site like this it is very convenient for when you are away from your computer or when your computer crashes (never fun to lose years worth of bookmarks!). I must admit though that I like having my bookmarks on my computer, it is quick and easy without, what I perceived to be, clutter as on the delicious site.

I don't foresee myself using this tool in the near future except maybe to safeguard my bookmarks from being lost. I might use it to find other sites that I might otherwise never find or think as useful for research or shopping needs.

Guess I'm a little stuck in my old school ways on this one, maybe some day I will get over that bump in the road.
