There comes a time in everyone’s life when they realize, “Hey, I’ve really made a colossal mess of my bookmarks!”
That time came for me recently. Specifically, with regard to my del.icio.us links. If you don’t know what del.icio.us is, well, it’s a “social bookmarking” tool that lets you basically store favorites on the web. Click the link there to learn more.
Anyway, my del.icio.us links got to be quite a mess. For starters, I never used tags when I started using the service. Plus, I had a lot of stuff that I would bookmark hoping to get back to later, but never ever did. So… I decided to “reboot” my del.icio.us. Actually, what I did was export everything, wipe it all out, and add back in the wheat only, leaving the chaff behind. (Well, at least in my opinion.)
One other result of this is that I’ve now added My del.icio.us Links to the sidebar on the right. You can see my 5 most recent bookmarked items, or click the title (”My del.icio.us Links”) to view all my links. In case you’re interested in what I have found interesting on the web…
And speaking of reading I find interesting, the other addition to the right sidebar is my Google Reader Shared Items. These are basically blog posts that I’ve read recently that I find interesting. (And you can see all my shared items by clicking the More link at the bottom of the list.)
The bottom line is that whenever you visit my site, even if I haven’t posted anything, there’s probably still something new to read! Enjoy…
