One of the frustrating things about using a web browser at school is that you can't add favourites to it or that you can't access those favourites anywhere else.

Delicious is a social bookmarking website.

This means that you can add favourites to one place that are stored on-line and therefore accessible from anywhere that has a web browser and internet access.

It is a "social" bookmarking site because you can find pages that have been added by other people who share your interests - you can use their expertise and knowledge to find web sites that could be useful to you.

While Delicious is a socail bookmarking web site, it is not social in the same way that facebook or myspace is - this makes it a safe place to be. Well, as safe as using any search tool eg Google.

However, I would suggest that you use a nickname that doesn't reveal who you are or where you live and that the same rules aply as to staying "safe" on-line. If you are concerned about using your last name (which it requires) then use a made up, but sensible name eg Smith, Jones or others that are very common.

Sign up to Delicious and use it to add the following web sites and then some that you regularly use:

• your blog page
• your 43things site
• the 7P blog homepage
