Social Bookmarking
DE2
was in a state of shock after rumors of Delicious being shut down… I have used Delicious since 2005 to save, organize, and share resources from the web…
I call Delicious my second brain– I have almost 5,000 sites saved (I visit a little over 500 websites a day, those bookmarks represent all of the websites that I think are valuable, helpful, and worth saving so that when I need something I’m able to easily find it)
I credit discovering and using Delicious as the start of my interest in Education Technology which ultimately led me to my current position working with faculty to help them discover and use technology to enhance learning both in and out of the classroom.
There are other social bookmarking sites out there, but none of them can compare to Delicious

Social Bookmarking question by digford: What value does del.icio.us have over other ‘bookmarking’ options (other than ‘social bookmarking’)?
If one is not concerned about distributing ones bookmarks to others, but only wants to be able to quickly create them on-the-fly (and organize them then or later), what particular value, if any, does del.icio.us have over other common bookmarking options — Yahoo! Bookmarks, Google Bookmarks, etc. ?
Thanks.
