I’m finally getting the hang of using the "Delicious" service. At first, I didn’t get it. I tried it for a while, and now I believe I’m stuck.
The basic idea is that you use the service to collect your bookmarks, by tagging them with one-word tags. Then you can find them again by "searching by tag". You don’t store them in folders. It’s a little like storing bookmarks the way Gmail stores your mail.
Now comes the point: all tags that you’ve set will be seen by others! So, together with all other users, you’ll be "tagging" the internet, and using this, you can subscribe to a RSS feed specified by one or more tags. For example, I can subscribe to the tags "software" and "architecture" by entering the feed http://del.icio.us/rss/tag/software+architecture in my RSS aggregator. Cool!
