This article explains what Delicious.com is all about. A scenario is presented where you may have written down an URL website name on a post it note and how you no longer have to do because you are now using Delicious. The sharing aspects of the Delicious website is explained because you ultimately are saving a name you associate with your saved website link and you can see what other websites people have tagged to the same website you saved. Also, you can see what other websites are coming up under the same tagged name you wrote down for your saved link. There is a website link to a YouTube video to explain how to use this social bookmarking website. Also, you can even subscribe to other people’s bookmarks. I think this shows you how RSS and social bookmarking technology can be combined. I think these two technologies need to be explained to students to help them research the World Wide Web better and easier. I plan to use these technologies myself.

Since I started using Delicious, I've found it easy to quickly find websites I've bookmarked. When I was completing my digital storytelling project, I remembered bookmarking a website I needed. It was so easy to find on Delicious! Its amazing as educators how many sites we visit and pull information from. Love how technology makes our lives easier! Sometimes :)
