Well I’ve been wanting to try out Stumble Upon or Delicious or one of the social bookmarking websites. So far I really like it. Essentially, I moved all my bookmarks (in Mozilla Firefox) (favorites in Internet Explorer) into the Delicious website. The advantages are many but to name a few:

1) Instead of having a list of favorites or bookmarks of websites tied to one PC or MAC- Delicious give you a website accessible from any PC or MAC. It is also much more organized than simply adding favorites/bookmarks and then putting them into folders.

2) With Delicious website are tagged with keywords such as financial sites, blogs, shopping sites, etc. Most website can fall into several categories. Let me give you an example. Say you bookmarked or added a favorite for Zig Ziglar. When you think of Zig’s website and company many keywords may jump into your head. You may think- motivational, marketing, personal development are all keywords that describe Zig’s site. Well they do all describe it. Tags become very beneficial a couple weeks from now when you say I need to read up on some marketing experts. Now instead of thinking what folder you saved them in, you can sort your bookmarks by tags. Click on any of the tags mentioned above and you’ll see Zig’s site. Pretty cool.

3)A third benefit is that bookmarks can be listed as private or public. For the public websites you can then share the cool sites you find with your friends, associates or business colleagues.
