del.icio.us is one of the popular social bookmarking websites. I've created one for LWIT, but you'll likely want one of your own as you learn more about them. Other sites include: furl, blue dot, ma.gnolia, and more - Read WIRED's Social Bookmarking Showdown or Robin Good's Social Bookmarking Services and Tools for reviews on the many of them.

Why Social Bookmarking?

Since it is web-based, a social bookmarking tool allows you to see your "bookmarks" or "favorites" from any Internet-accessible computer
Provides a powerful, but different, form of organization called 'tagging'
Allows you to share your finds with others and to discover what others are finding on the web
Serves as a efficient search tool
It's free!
