Note: The below is an archived entry from Earthling, formerly EarthLink's official blog. The blog itself has been decommissioned and is no longer updated, and comments are trackbacks are no longer accepted.
Common Craft is at it again. In the video below, Lee breaks down the mechanics, how-to, and advantages of social bookmarking over using plain old web browser favorites or bookmarks. This is a topic that has come up several times on Earthling and the eLink newsletter, but if you are at all in the dark about why you'd bother using a site like EarthLink's myFavorites or Yahoo's Del.icio.us as your expanding accordion file of web finds, the explanation below is worth a look.

This is a great post, Dave.
Common craft does an excellent job creating these howto videos.
It certainly helps that it was on one of my favorite topics - social bookmarking.
Social bookmarkers, taggers, and semantic indexers unite!

Couldn't find a thing on the del.icio.us site about Macintosh. I feel snubbed. Will it work on our browsers? If not, I wouldn't be interested. I'll take my iPod and computer and play somewhere else.

Michael: You are loved, not snubbed! Both del.icio.us and myFavorites work on Mac browsers. That's one of the advantages -- not having to worry about what computer you're on.

This how-to video is the most fun one that I've seen. Deserved to be tagged!

Yep. I'm loved. It works great on my Mac. Glad I found it.
