The last social bookmarking site I think is important to mention is del.icio.us. That's right, the one with the weird punctuation. If you've been following the last few posts, del.icio.us works like the other social bookmarking site though its origins are a little different.

del.icio.us started as a way to keep track of your bookmarks from computer to computer. In a world where many of us have a desktop, a laptop, an office computer and a cell phone with internet access, getting to your favorite website can often end up as an exercise in text recall. del.icio.us solved that problem, letting you put all your bookmarks in one place.

Of course the social aspect soon developed. People shared links, used del.icio.us to promote other websites and their own. The truth is, humans are social creatures. We love to share and learn from each other. We like to offer up knowledge to other people. Use these social tools to get in on the online networking! Most business owners spend hours networking offline, but imagine a network that is running constantly. Again, del.icio.us is a must for you to submit to and also put as a widget on your blog.

del.icio.us is not just like a browser bookmark. So the interface may take some time adjusting to. Everything works with tags instead of being sorted into files. However, if you bookmark your own site you can also find out who else is bookmarking your site as well!
