del.icio.us : Make Your Bookmarks Accessible on the Web, Share Them with Others, See What Others Are Bookmarking

If you haven't checked out del.icio.us bookmarks yet, do so! It's a great service that allows you to keep your Web bookmarks in one place — that you can access from any computer with an Internet connection.

Just as cool is the fact that you can search del.icio.us to see what other people are bookmarking.

This can sometimes be a better way to find things on the Web than a simple Google search, because you can almost always look at bookmarks created by people who know more about a topic than you do.

When you are searching for info on a topic but you don't really know enough about it to know the best keywords to use, you can start by browsing through a collection of publicly available bookmarks.

Check out the del.icio.us Guide to Discovering Bookmarks for more ideas on how to research a topic using bookmarks.

Here are my mcbuzz bookmarks on del.icio.us

Here's another nice feature: You don't have to let everyone see all your bookmarks. If there are some bookmarks you would rather not share publicly, you just check a box to make those bookmarks private.
