Yum yum...Del.icio.us!

Have you noticed the new addition to the blog? The word cloud off to the right (crafts, recommendations, etc.) is a Del.icio.us tag cloud. Del.icio.us is a social bookmarking site...instead of hitting "Bookmark this page" in Internet Explorer or Firefox, you can add all the websites you want to go back to later using Del.icio.us. This is great, because you probably don't use the same computer every day. I know I love it...I can still find my bookmarks whether I'm using my home computer, my work computer or a computer at a friend's house.

I've created a Del.icio.us page for teens in this area...check out some of the links to the right! Try the word games to find links to fun online games. Check out recommendations for websites that will recommend new music, clothing, etc. for you. The words that are bigger are the ones that I've used most often to "tag" or describe the websites. For pandora, my favorite music website, I used these tags: music, recommendations, social, search. These are all words that I think describe the website.

You can help me add to this, too. Email me your favorite websites whether they're games, music sites or whatever. Feel free to tell me what to "tag" them, too.... Or you can make your own del.icio.us account and we can be in a "network" so we can see each other's tags.

Tell me what you think in the comments!!
