As it’s about page says, del.icio.us is a collection of bookmarks, yours and the collectivity ones. You use it to pin your favourite sites and organize them not in folders anymore but by tags. By saving your links on a remote server, you don’t have to import/export/backup them, they are always there, even from another computer.
It is extremely useful if you want to:

  • Organize all your bookmarks in a useful way
  • Have a link under the attention of a friend or coworker
  • Discover new links by looking at what other people are bookmarking
  • Assign a link the collective tags, so you don’t have to write them yourself
  • Have a network of friends, whose links are more relevant for your activies.
  • Add a person’s feed to your RSS reader
