Would you like to find the coolest websites without hardly trying? Would you like to have other teachers scan and evaluate the web, and send the good links right to you? Have you thought about sending out your own newsletter of your personal favorites? Now you can! Come learn how to use social bookmarking to contribute to and benefit from the most powerful bookmark network already in place.
Delicious.com is an online place to store and share your bookmarks (this is social bookmarking).
Everyone on Delicious chooses to save their bookmarks for a reason. You have access to the links that everyone wants to remember. You can see whether two people have chosen to remember a link, or whether it was useful enough for a thousand people to remember – which may help you find things that are useful for you, too.
This has several advantages.
First, you can get to your bookmarks from anywhere, no matter whether you're at home, at work, in a library, or on a friend's computer.
Second, you can share your bookmarks publicly, so your friends, coworkers, and other people can view them for reference, amusement, collaboration, or anything else.
Third, you can find other people on Delicious who have interesting bookmarks and add their links to your own collection.
What you can do to contribute to Delicious:Tag (add key words)
Tags are one-word descriptors that you can assign to your bookmarks on Delicious to help you organize and remember them. Tags are a bit like keywords, which you choose them yourself. You can even make up your own 'creative' tags that would only apply to you. You can assign as many tags to a bookmark as you like and you can always rename or delete the tags later. (Tags have NO spaces. You can use an 'underscore' to connect words. ex. first_grade) All your tags are here: http://delicious.com/tags/username A favorite tag of mine: http://delicious.com/pezduh/andcoolthisweek
What you can do to benefit from others contributions:Subscribe (following "tags")
Subscriptions allow you to watch all your favorite tags in one place. After you subscribe to a tag, Delicious watches for everyone's bookmarks saved with that tag and delivers them to your subscriptions page. This is good for watching what people are bookmarking about a favorite topic or series of topics.

Network (following "people")
Your network connects you to other Delicious users: friends, family, coworkers, even new people you run across while exploring Delicious. After you add a user to your network, Delicious watches those people and delivers their activity to your network page. It is good for watching your favorite users to see what they are bookmarking.
