Del.icio.us

It was easy to set up my own account and then add some bookmarks of interest to me.  I made a few searches  and followed other user's trails and I could see how you could find that you had gone off on other tangents and time would pass very quickly. Unlike Google where you can use multiple search terms users have multiple tags therefore you bring up a lot of returns that are not of interest.  I searched by Free Knitting Patterns and bought up many entries which had knitting  or patterns but not free.   I found that I  needed to type in one word and then keep on refining my search by choosing the option on the drop down menu. When I followed other users trail I came across a few interesting sites but many I wasn't interested in.  I will go back in my own time and investigate further and store more bookmarks in my own del.icio.us account.  Social bookmarking is a good tool for sharing sites among friends who have similar interests without having to email each time you have a site to share.
