A better bookmark
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Russ Oaks, senior system engineer here at the AJC, has contributed to this blog before. Today he takes a look at the Del.icio.us bookmark site. Feel free to ask him questions - about this posting or other computer-related topics. . He has more than 15 years experience in IT and 12 years in IT management.
Del.icio.us is an online bookmark site that anyone who likes to have bookmarks for their favorite sites will enjoy.
Now, instead of saving bookmarks on every different computer you use, then trying to remember where you found the page, you can have a reliable means of accessing all your bookmarks from anywhere you have Web access.
You can set del.icio.us up specifically with Firefox, by adding extensions that will help you save pages whenever you need to. It also works well with other browsers. If you are not using Firefox, you can get a del.icio.us account and simply save this as a bookmark or home page.
The best thing about del.icio.us is that many sites today have a “del.icio.us post” button right on the Web site. Simply click on this button if you already have an account and your page will be automatically saved on the del.icio.us site. The latest Firefox extension is “del.icio.us 1.1.” This version will give you everything you need to get started with your own web based bookmark collection.
The primary tools you’ll need will install automatically.
If you want to go to your main del.icio.us page, click on the black, blue, and white square button.
If you are on a page that you want to save, click on the TAG button and then click the save button. That’s it!
Login to your del.icio.us account if you haven’t already, and you can view your online bookmark.
There are many other tools and extensions that can be used with del.icio.us - just try a few and see which ones work for you.
