My bookmarking experience was a step-by-step process. I passed several steps to get to the 'Delicious' and here is my story.
Several years ago, when I had no idea about bookmarking, I used a very primitive way of collecting the links: I used Notepad! Yes, it’s the one which is in Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Notepad. It was not that easy to keep all links there. Also every time when I needed to go to a particular page, I had to copy-paste the link.
After that, my friend saw what I was doing to save a link, smiled and recommended me to use Favorites in menu of a browser. Things got a lot easier, however, when I was using another computer, I had to save the link in my email and come home and save the link in my Favorites (if I didn’t forget to do so).
One day I got an email from my friend with a delicious link. When I clicked on it, I understood that it’s time to use delicious. So, I've been using delicious since August 2010, and I just love it! I can save the website links from any computer and have access to it from anywhere. Tagging helps me to organize and easily find the links related to one area. Also, I found out that I can change the display options: I chose to display 50 links in page, and open the link in a new window. You can organize the links according to an alphabetical order or the date you added the links. Up to now, I have 66 bookmarks there, and from my experience of using delicious I can say that it’s a super tool for keeping all links in one place.
Aha! Mystery solved. You are an experienced user.
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh!

Hi Shahnoza..
ReplyDeleteI agree with Robert.. you're an experienced user.. when you told me about Delicious on you previous entry..it reminded me that I read about it on the webskillsuo's web..then I recognized that it would be the next task for us...I checked on your 'delicious' link..it was great.. I think I will comment on the right post :D
And you know..I did the same thing with you about saving on notepad hahaha..I kept in on my flash disk and I had to open it every time I need the links..specially when I was learning about building a web with my friend..she gave me many links of cute and useful things for my blog..
Thank you for you and Robert for sharing ^^

Hi Shahnoza..
ReplyDeleteI notice that we have something in common..inserting images to our entries :D I never post my entries on my previous blogs without images.. I think I am too expressive to show what I feel haha..

Robert, I'm glad that I made you laugh! :)
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Shahnoza
Dhika, it's such a relief to know that I wasn't the only one who used to keep a notepad to collect the links.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I don't think inserting an image in blog means that a person is too expressive. Images are always helpful, especially for visual learners, to remember the text. Together with a title, the image could also be a good pre-reading part to give the reader some idea and prepare the reader for reading the text. It stimulates interest and encourages the reader to read the text till the end. I think images always help the reader. So, keep uploading images into your blog, dear! :)
Best,
Shahnoza
Hey Shahnoza!
ReplyDeleteI was searching on other Delicious pages other partners had opened and I was amazed at your page. You have my same interests! And I could tell you have been doing this for a long time. I admire you even found that note pad system before, I am more of a paper and pencil person but with this experience I believe I am starting to speed up. Thank you for sharing great ideas!

Hi Shahnoza,
ReplyDeleteI guess you were very successful in making me and maybe some others interested in your story with Delicious when you wrote to Robert on Nicenet that he should read your blog to get the answer. Now I have to check your Delicious pages after all the positive feedback you've got from Rahmat.

Hi Shahnoza,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog entries for this week.
Bookmarking definitely makes our lives simpler !
I liked your images in your blog. You are right, they can help the reader make hypotheses or predict the content for your entries and add a nice touch to the writing.
I will try some for my own blog.
