Ultimate way to SEARCH!

When I start to look for information online for my project, I would first surf the GOOGLE search engine and hoping that it would bring me to the suitable and useful web pages. However, GOOGLE not always works in finding the most suitable webpage for me. Instead, now I find a new way to get useful information efficiently. In fact, I didn't know about the existence of del.ici.ous before attending the writing for new media course (haha how stupid I am).

Delicious (formerly del.icio.us) probably is one of the most well-known social bookmarking services which has been subscribed by lots of people. As it is a rich resource with enormous amount of tagged sites to access. You just have to click on the Delicious button, and then the site would be tagged and added to your personal list, as well as the del.icio.us library. Yes! It is just that simple! The tagged pages can be easily recovered by other users by using common tags.  In case you have no idea how to make good use of this tool, go have a look at this article - How to Use Delicious: The King of Social Bookmarking.

Actually, like I said, search engines cannot even compete with social bookmarking, as it is a service that is user-generated and powered by the tagging of users. Besides bookmarking the sites as users would for themselves, at the same time, sharing them through centralized services. You may even leave useful notes to other users for reference. It is a simple yet powerful form of online collaboration which supplies information from the bottom up.


So what are you waiting for? You should experience this new tool yourself right away! But don't forget to give me feedback on this :) !
