I just made an account on del.icio.us, a social bookmark service that's been around for a year or so, but is still under development. I've noticed it for a while, but a Jon Udell column recently caught my eye, and convinced me to try it. Even the basic no-frills site they have now is quite useful as a bookmark repository. Bookmarking sites are easy, and since it is external, you can share between multiple computers. This is very useful to me. Not only that, but the real power behind this is the ability to look at who else shares your links, and see what else they have. You can quickly find all the interesting links of a particular topic. This is basically a much better way to get Yahoo-style categorization of internet. You can also subscribe to other people's bookmarks, or other people's categories, or a general categories bookmarks.
Feel free to check out my list of bookmarks. If the service is slow, or down... well it is like that sometimes.
