My very own DELICIOUS account! I've seen this tool on websites for years, never really understanding the concept. I've always liked the idea of maintaining bookmarks on a cloud server, as bookmarking sites annually and on multiple computers is a waste of time. I've currently been using XMarks to sync my bookmarks between school and home computers. This has worked great. However, as I've explored Delicious and am learning more about "tagging" and "posting" bookmark sites, it seems there might be more benefit than my own personal use. There is potential here for creating hubs for kids and for teachers who are all working on the same curriculum. I'm anxious to see if this would be effective if we incorporate it into our new class Google site?

I'm about to start delicious. I don't even really know what it is yet, but I may try to get some Monarch links started for us. The critters are coming.
