  Bookmarks

  For links in general refer to and register with
  
• Del.licio.us,
  a collection of favorites - yours and everyone else's.
  
  You can use del.icio.us to:
  
  Keep links to your favorite articles, blogs, music, reviews, recipes, and more,
  and access them from any computer on the web.
  
  Share favorites with friends, family, coworkers, and the del.icio.us community.
  
  Discover new things. Everything on del.icio.us is someone's favorite - they've already
  done the work of finding it. So del.icio.us is full of bookmarks about technology,
  entertainment, useful information, and more. Explore and enjoy.
  
  del.icio.us is a social bookmarking website. The primary use of del.icio.us
  is to store your bookmarks online, which allows you to access the same bookmarks
  from any computer and add bookmarks from anywhere, too.
  
  On del.icio.us, you can use tags to organize and remember your bookmarks,
  which is a much more flexible system than folders.
