If you find a website that you want to revisit, where do you store the link? You can bookmark the link, but I don’t like this because I use more than one computer and the bookmarks end up on different machines.

I’ve used bookmarks.yahoo.com for a long time to store links I regularly visit… bank login site, 401k site, and the like. I put the bookmarks module on my.yahoo.com page. I even keep important (and difficult to remember) links that only work inside our company including human resource links and reporting links.

But what about links that you want to share and maybe revisit some time in the future once or twice? This is where del.icio.us comes in. You can quickly store a page on your del.icio.us page and go back and quickly find it later on. You can even share it. My public site is del.icio.us/fishback. I’m surprised how often I go back and look things up there.

One of my most recent links is to an article on how to include your del.icio.us links on your MovableType page using Feed Digest. You will see my most recent 10 links to the right.

It took me a while to understand how to use del.icio.us. Remembering how to spell it and where the dots go was one hurdle. However, I installed two bookmarks in my various browsers: one to del.icio.us/fishback for my own reference and one that lets me quickly post new links. Along with my.yahoo.com and bloglines.com, del.icio.us has become an important web surfing tool for me.

Oh… and in December, Yahoo bought del.icio.us, but I have not seen it show up as a Yahoo module yet.
