=What is del.icio.us?= del.icio.us is a **social bookmarking** website -- the primary use of del.icio.us is to store your bookmarks online, which allows you to access the same bookmarks from any computer and add bookmarks from anywhere, too. On del.icio.us, you can use **tags** to organize and remember your bookmarks, which is a much more flexible system than folders. You can also use del.icio.us to see the interesting links that your friends and other people bookmark, and share links with them in return. You can even browse and search del.icio.us to discover the cool and useful bookmarks that everyone else has saved -- which is made easy with tags. After registering, you'll install the del.icio.us buttons, which look like this: They're an easy way to add bookmarks to del.icio.us. You'll also be able to upload your existing bookmarks if you want to. Plus, as a registered user you'll have a **network** and **subscriptions** that you can use to easily keep track of the users and tags that interest you.
 * del.icio.us is a collection of favorites** - yours and everyone else's. You can use del.icio.us to:
 * **Keep** links to your favorite articles, blogs, music, reviews, recipes, and more, and access them from any computer on the web.
 * **Share** favorites with friends, family, coworkers, and the del.icio.us community.
 * **Discover** new things. Everything on del.icio.us is someone's favorite -- they've already done the work of finding it. So del.icio.us is full of bookmarks about technology, entertainment, useful information, and more. Explore and enjoy.

What are tags?

 * Tags** are one-word descriptors that you can assign to your bookmarks on del.icio.us. They're a little bit like keywords but non-hierarchical. You can assign as many tags to a bookmark as you like and easily rename or delete them later. Tagging can be a lot easier and more flexible than fitting your information into preconceived categories or folders.

Add bookmarks
The buttons you installed during the [|registration process] are the main way to add new items to del.icio.us. (If you need to install the buttons again for any reason, such as if you're using a different computer, you can go back to [|step 2] of that process.) When you're visiting a page that you'd like to save to del.icio.us, click the button at the top of your browser labeled **TAG** or **post to del.icio.us** (this depends on which kind of button you installed - you probably only installed one of these). Then, fill out the information in the posting interface and save it -- and you've just saved an item to del.icio.us! To see
