 * Welcome to del.icio.us!

What is del.i cio.us?** It's an odd name, but it's a simple, powerful service that is very easy to use. Del.icio.us is a social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing and discovering web bookmarks. It's a collection of favorites, yours and everyone else's. The primary use of del.icio.us is to store your bookmarks online, which allows you to access the same bookmarks for any computer. You can use these tags to organize and remember your bookmarks which is much more flexible than using folders. There is no official taxonomy, "folksonomy" the required idea behind this, is to encourage a community of users to tag websites with words that have meaning to them and to thier peers.
