Log 1. Commentary on sharing resources using resources using Delicious

Using Delicious has been a useful way to for me to store websites that have been helpful for me throughout my project process. The first key point I feel I have to mention is that it is free! And being at university anything useful that is free is always welcomed! It only took a few minutes to set up and no special computer knowledge is needed to use it, which in my case is a big plus.


This social bookmarking site has benefitted me as I like many others before me have been an individual who scribbles down the websites used or copy and pastes then onto a word document and save them for when i wish to return to the site. With Delicious this has been rectified and I can now have the ease of saving the URL websites and accessing them confidently and quickly. You can store bookmarks wherever you are, on your own computer, a friends, an internet cafe, library etc and access your account accordingly. It’s great to be able to share my bookmarks with my friends and co workers and I can share theirs too if they think there is a site that I would benefit from. But I can also just use Delicious for my own personal use and keep links private if I wish.

I thought the link where you could email individuals website links that I had saved was extremely effective and Delicious is a resource that I will go on to use throughout my career but also just for my own use, online shopping etc. I have browsed the internet for sites that I can refer to throughout my project process and it’s refreshing to know that I can access those links whenever I need to.
