del.icio.us Reliance

I'm going to sing the praises of del.icio.us again, so forgive me.

Yesterday del.icio.us went down. I don't know how long the service was down for, but when I tried to send a bookmark to my del.icio.us account I was unable (del.icio.us is a social bookmarking site, read "Musicbrainz, Audioscrobbler and del.icio.us" post for more info). I didn't know what to do with myself. I could bookmark it in my browser, but that left me with some unsearchable and unlabeled, bookmark that I would most likely never look at again. I'm amazed at how quickly del.icio.us has become an essential part of my internet experience. I use it every day to keep track of sites, both for work and personal use. I label future research I may be interested in covering as well as sites I just find interesting or amusing. It has moved into the essential category for me, which also includes Google and Bloglines. Other than that the only internet tool I use every day is email (and fantasy football tools, now that the season is getting under way). It's worth a try if you haven't used it, you won't go back to those browser bookmarks any time soon.

If you've got one, flaunt it.

You can use some HTML (a's, br's, p's, oh my!) if you'd like, if you don't know what that means, don't worry about it.
REMEMBER ME?
