===The following is a presentation on using Del.icio.us -- You will find extensive tools for Social Bookmarking at [|this great Blog.]===

FAQs: directly from the del.icio.us Help page:

What is social bookmarking?
del.icio.us is a **social bookmarking** website, which means it is designed to allow you to store and share bookmarks on the web, instead of inside your browser. 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. (Note that you can also mark bookmarks on del.icio.us as private -- only viewable by you -- if you like.) Third, you can find other people on del.icio.us who have interesting bookmarks and add their links to your own collection. Everyone on del.icio.us 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.

I use [|PortaPortal] - is it a social bookmarking system?
No, PortaPortal is a bookmarking portal -- but it lacks tagging.

What are tags?

 * Tags** are one-word descriptors that you can assign to your bookmarks on del.icio.us. They're a little bit like keywords but non-hierarchical. You can assign as many tags to a bookmark as you like and easily rename or delete them later. Tagging can be a lot easier and more flexible than fitting your information into preconceived categories or folders.

For instance, to view everybody's bookmarks about sweets, visit http://del.icio.us/tag/sweets. To see the most popular items tagged as sweets, visit http://del.icio.us/popular/sweets.
