We have been recently introduced to del.icio.us as a new tool. It is basically a collection of favourites which offers some advantages compared to the traditional favourites lists.
First of all del.icio.us allows the storage, classification and sharing of links to the websites of your preference. As it is extremely difficult to find the information you need among the huge amount of data that the Internet provides, it is very useful to have something that leads you wherever you want to go virtually in seconds. It also lets you filter the information to avoid uncomfortable useless websites.
Its social bookmarks manager allows to attach the sites you visit to your del.icio.us with a simple click of your mouse. And sites are also classified and ready to use. The tags make it easy and quick to classify as many things as you want. Besides, its complete and practical tools help you use and manage the resources.
All this makes del.cio.us a website with even more visits than the Wikipedia and with a potencial difficult to quantify.
