Have you heard of Delicious? It’s a great way of organising bookmarks and memorable sites so that you can easily access them no matter where you are, what computer you’re on or what browser you’re using. We’ve created a bda work account, which makes things more fun because we can discover sites that other people here have tagged which we might otherwise not have come across.
For example, I might find a site with a heap of free icons; I can then tag it with ‘icons / resources / whatever’ and then when someone else is looking for some icons, they will (hopefully) see the site I’ve tagged. Likewise if someone is reading a site about bullet proof rounded corner methods, they could tag it with ’roundedcorners / tutorial / whatever’ and when I’m feeling a little bit nuts, I can see the site and voila! Rounded corners! :
The easiest way to start using Delicious is with the firefox add on. Tagging / bookmarking a site is then as easy as either a) right-clicking and choosing ‘bookmark this page in delicious…’ or b) hitting the big ‘tag’ button next to the address bar.
If you think we’ll enjoy the site, tag it with for:thinkbda and it’ll show up in our suggested sites list.
If Firefox isn’t your thing, or if you don’t want to install the add-on, there are other tools you can use.
Happy bookmarking!

This is swell in terms of search engines. Naught looks to rag on it compared to that!Ironically, this is exactly was warned about several years ago at the internet about seo in ‘93.
