Delicious

I had never heard about anything like Delicious until this class, and I must admit, it took me a while to figure out exactly what it was, and even longer to figure out how to use it. The way I understand it is that it is a "social book marking web service" for storing, sharing, and discovering websites, pages, and links. Users are able to post cool websites, pages, and links that they discover on the web and share them with their "friends" or "followers," if you will. It has a "hotlist" on its home page and "popular" and "recent" pages, which help to make the website track trends throughout the site and web. This could be a cool website to use in the classroom if you need to share links and useful websites and sources, but it might be time consuming for the students to learn how to use it.
