de.licio.us!

I need to catch up here... a few days off and *POOF*! My motivation disappears like an elephant at a Sigfried and Roy engagement. So here I am, playing around with de.licio.us while the rest of you are knee deep in LibraryThing.

I like de.licio.us (check out my bookmarks here). It's fun, and I like that I can access my bookmarks from any computer, not just mine. There have been times when I'm at the library, or a friends house, and can't for the life of me remember how to navigate to where I want to go. Sure, you can always Google it. But it's so much more convenient to just access the bookmarks!

The first site I added was the home page for Black Hen Farms, a chicken/fowl sanctuary in Santa Cruz that sells eggs at various farmers' markets. To my surprise, only one other de.licio.us user had bookmarked this site! I clicked her user name and discovered that she has tons of sites about sustainable and organic foods tagged. I really like that aspect of de.licio.us: it is easy to find users with similar tastes and interests, and it allows you to discover all kinds of sites you may never have known existed otherwise!
