#13 del.icio.us

Being able to access favourites from any internet-linked pc is very useful. This also relates to the idea of the 'single device' that we heard so much about in library school. ie a wireless net-linked pc/phone - without software. Instead we will use software that is available free or pay-per-use on the web. No more upgrading!

Also on del.icio.us I found some authors' pages - so if you are interested in a topic you can possibly find an author on there and then look at what he/she has bookmarked.

I really like this tool. It's great for simultaneously searching sites you use a lot. See my search rolls over there on your right. The 'book search' roll searches my two favourites, Abebooks and Amazon.com. It needs some tweaking, at the moment the results are too broad.
