Delicious Account

[dmarley]

I've opened a Delicious account. I did it out of sheer practicality, since I've gotten a second computer and suddenly needed to find a way to merge bookmarks without tearing my hair out. I've been hearing about Delicious (also, grateful that they changed the site address) for years but never took the time to figure out how it worked. I *still* don't know a lot about how the social aspect works, but the bookmark tagging is completely awesome and I've been experimenting with bookmarking and tagging the Torchwood stories I have saved.

So far, I've tagged around seventy stories, most of them recs. I've poked around enough to know a bit about the tagging conventions, but I'm wondering if I'm making egregious mistakes. My intent is to have my story bookmarks be functional to others as a search and rec list, so I'm a bit worried that I'm doing something weird that will make my bookmarks fall through the general tag-search cracks.

In fact, if those of you who use Delicious have a moment, I'd really appreciate some seasoned tagging/searching hands looking over my bookmarks and letting me know if I'm doing things that will confuse or annoy potential searchers. I'd rather find out now when I've got seventy stories to be fixed than after I've (potentially) tagged a thousand.

My goal is to, at least, tag the stories that I've flagged in my folders as being notable, and if I'm still crazy enough I'll try to tag the rest of my stories, too. But that's 1,500 in my Torchwood folder alone, so I'm not holding my breath. So, if you're interested, please feel free to subscribe to my tags. I'm focusing on getting older stories up right now, but I'm also trying to add notable new stories as they come along.

Yeah, that's the part that I'm still fumbling on. I mean, I can always link to a tag if I want to rec something, but supposedly there are ways to subscribe to people's tags and whatnot. I tried reading the FAQ, but it's one of those things that doesn't make sense until you actually do it (at least to me), so I guess I'll just have to plunge in and see what happens.

But I was able to import my bookmarks straight from Firefox and can therefore use them on both computers, which was so completely awesome that anything else I do with the site is a bonus.

I like being able to import them from Firefox. It's nice to be able to access them on a different computer. Though, the other features I still have yet to learn about. I don't mind having most of my bookmarks public, but I just don't want to wade through them all to figure out what is good and what I don't want to share.
