I wanted to research what LEIA had about the topic of bookmarking before posting this new thread, and I got this particular reference RE: bookmarking: Hit CTRL + B and this link: http://javascript.internet.com/misce...mark-page.html

But since this advice is a little too javascript-specific, (I cannot make heads or tails of what that last bit of info meant) I wanted to bring up the topic of the current influx of community-based bookmarking, like with del.icio.us

del.icio.us writes:

It's made out of people

" del.icio.us users discover interesting things on the Web every day. We want to make it easier for you to find and connect to these people, so that you can benefit from their knowledge and they can benefit from yours. Today the “inbox” feature lets you subscribe to other users’ bookmarks, but most people don’t know about it and it’s not terribly easy to use in your everyday life.

To make sharing easier, we’ve just released a new feature called “your network”. You can add other del.icio.us users to your network either by visiting their del.icio.us pages or from the your network page itself. Once someone is in your network, you can keep track of their latest saved public bookmarks. And when you save new bookmarks you can easily share them with people in your network just by clicking on their username. "

What do you think of this? And how is the networking bookmarking feature with del.icio.us different than using a personal bookmark code with java (CTRL + B) or am I talking about a somewhat similar thing?

Some personal insight into all of this would be spendid!

Any comments?

Thanks, dee-licious! :heart: xx Lady Bat
