Great site for finding interesting and offbeat stuff
« on: August 13, 2005, 09:18:23 am »
del.icio.us/


Have you ever enjoyed just browsing in a library or bookstore in no particular section, stumbling onto books you'd never have otherwise seen?

People post some interesting links to the above website (they also post junk, but it's only a click to try another link).  

I find it enjoyable to find new and interesting sites that I would never have discovered.

Beware, it moves really FAST when it's busy:  you can refresh the page 10 seconds later and find the link you just saw has now scrolled down half a page!

Enjoy... :D

doug,

I found some great tools for using del.icio.us on that Wiki entry.

Thanks!
