Del.icio.us
Rather excellent name aside, this is one of the most popular of social bookmarking sites with an alleged membership in excess of 50,000 similar-minded types. To start, you need to place a simple shortcut button in your browser in order to add pages to your own personal page. When you do you'll be prompted to add any notes or information about the site you've selected.
The navigation feels much more intuitive than at other sites and the clean design makes it feel less confusing. Getting started is simple too: one click on 'Popular' will take you to a page where the most linked pages are listed, as well as the most popular subjects or 'Tags'. Once you've linked to a certain page, you are told how many other souls have also taken an interest in it and by clicking on the number you can see the other sites they have bookmarked.
If you're new to social bookmarking then this is the place to start. But even if you're not, the sheer diversity here will keep you engrossed in other people's interests for, well, how long have you got?
