del.icio.us is a social bookmarking site that allows people to save and share bookmarks or favorites. Bookmarks can be tagged with user defined terms that help categorize the information. Your bookmarks will be available on the Web. You will always have access to them, no matter what computer you are using or where you are.
The main benefit of del.icio.us is the social aspects of the site. It makes good use the the Web's intricate interlinking of disparate bits of information. In an academic setting an instructor can set up one or many del.icio.us accounts, tag items of interest, and share with his students. Faculty and students can collaborate in a shared account, with the work of many individuals shared in a central, easily accessed place.
Steps to using:
- Create an account.

Now you are ready to start creating your del.icio.us collection. When using Blogger to host your blog, you can easily display a feed or "link roll" widget of your del.icio.us bookmarks on your blog site, as seen on the right.
