(Don't worry if it takes you forever to remember how exactly to type this website in. We've all been there. I'm still there, in fact. I've mistyped that address 20 times in the last half-hour.)
Del.icio.us is a site that allows you to upload your bookmarks, making them accessible from any computer with a web connection. This also allows you share these bookmarks with others. Del.icio.us also supports tagging, offering the same easy search and browsing that tagging gives sites like Flickr and LibraryThing.
As an example, I have started a del.icio.us site here, to keep track of all the websites I have linked to during the challenge. Just need to know where the cool avatar sites were again? Click on the "task7" tag, and see all the links I referenced in Task 7.
Something else del.icio.us shares with Flickr and LibraryThing is the ability to subscribe to a certain search, receiving notifications whenever someone posts something you might be interested in. You can opt to receive notifications whenever someone posts a public link with a tag that matches your search query.
Your task: Explore del.icio.us, and create an account. What websites could you not live without? Share them with us, by posting a link to your del.icio.us account in your blog!
