Not too many years ago, if anyone has asked ickledot about bookmarking, he would have thought it meant sitting down for a few hours with a pile or two of exercise books and a red pen, ticking and crossing his way through the night. Now, of course, red pens are hugely non-pc, ickledot’s life has changed completely and bookmarks have a whole new meaning.
Internet pioneers have been on about Web 2.0 and the social networking revolution for a number of years now, and the fact that ickledot is becoming aware of its power shows it is moving into the mainstream. The principle of storing all ones stuff away from your actual computer and into ‘the Cloud’is spreading to all aspects of computer usage and storage. This not only includes blogs, photos and movies but also bookmarking, most notably through delicious.
Delicious now has a new look and domain name: delicious.com.
ickledot downloaded Firefox 3 web browser a couple of weeks ago after it was recommended by friend Tim (who runs an excellent site about food in West Yorkshire). One of few disappointments was the loss of the delicious tagging option. Thankfully this has now returned with added options. Now all my bookmarks are stored in the aforementioned ‘Cloud’ as well as on my machine.
Thanks for news of this goes to Mitch Joel of the Six Pixels of Separation blog.
