For a food loving person like myself a web tool called del.cio.us was too good an opportunity to miss!
Del.icio.us is a must have web tool called a social bookmarker. It radically changes the way you browse the web and share good links with other users.
Setting up a free account is very straight forward, but choose an username that you are happy to share with other people. Then download the del.icio.us software including buttons that will display on a google toolbar.
Everytime you find a useful website add it to your del.icio.us list. You need to give it one or more tag names. This will enable you to sort through all your links. If it is a popular site with other del.icio.us users you will be given a suggested list of how they have tagged it.
Why bother using Del.icio.us?
The main advantage of using del.icio.us over just using internet favourites or bookmarks, is that your del.icio.us list can be accessed as a web page wherever you are.
It is also possible to add your del.icio.us list to a personalised google homepage or onto a google desktop sidebar.
With a bit of fiddling around, you can add your list to a blog. You can see mine displayed as a cloud. The tags with the most links are in a larger font.
Lastly, you can share your list with other people. To view my list go to del.icio.us and type in the username communicty, or click here

Hi Alex - We’ve set up del.icio.us area for our eTwinning links. They’re mostly related to school partnerships and the use of ICT in education. If you ever come across some links that might be relevant we’d appreciated it if you could recommend them to us in del.icio.us.
Many thanks
Chris

[…] Ning also extends the concept of social bookmarking tools such as del.icio.us. By clicking on a member’s avatar you can view not only their contributions on this network, but also what other networks they belong to and who all their ‘friends’ are. This more social form of tagging enables you to literally put a face to an idea. […]
