I've been playing around with a couple online bookmarking sites these past couple days. Spurl.net and del.icio.us appear to be two of the more popular.
These sites basically let you move your browser favorites online so you can access them anywhere. You can also categorize things a bit, too. So far, so good. What I think is really cool, conceptually, is that your bookmarks can also be made available for others to see. They can also be cross-referenced with the categories others have set up.
You end up with a nice dynamic web of information. From this you can extrapolate which topics or pages are getting a lot of attention, or see what other people have bookmarked in your same topic area.
Very cool, but it strikes me as a solution in search of a problem. What can I do with this other than move from computer to computer and still have all my bookmarks?
