#17 Delicious

Social web browsing! Sounds like an oxymoron to me!  To be social and web browse???  Is that like holding your breath while breathing!!! However, I must admit it does sort of work.  Except and here is a little warning, don't download the Delicious toolbar if you are running the newest version of Windows Explorer (not sure how FireFox would go).  I had a week of Explorer crashing every few minutes.  Since I disabled the Delicious toolbar I haven't had a problem.  That aside, I can see some real benefits of using Delicious.  I use to perform large website searches finding various resources and then cut and paste the websites into Word documents and filing them.  Delicious completely does away with this and it is faster and a much better retrieval system (try tagging a Word document, not to mention the document clutter it created on my desktop!).  As for Delicious replacing my Bookmarks/Favourites, it might in time but I am still a little bit old school and love to have them saved where they are safe and sound on my personal computer.
