“del.icio.us” was a play on the domain names that are commonly used. This is a social-networking bookmarks site. I was surprised to learn of a social networking site that offered bookmarks of people from all over the internet. I have only seen myspace.com and facebook.com. This site can be entertaining and very helpful. Not only that, you can access this site as long as you have an internet connection. This means if you have important sites bookmarked on your browser, and your computer crashes; you still have your delicious list. My computer hard drive crashed recently. I was left with nothing. All my vital bookmarks were gone. That was very devastating. It took me a week to recover everything I lost. If I have heard of this site, I would have saved time, money and heartache.e internet. If you have the time, come visit my site at http://delicious.com/ln14jr, and you will see what I mean.
First time I heard of Firefox was on TechTv. I was interested in the capability of tab browsing. At that time Microsoft only offered the Explorer 6. The only way you opened up another webpage was to open another browsing window. This usually ate up a lot of cache and slowed down the browsing. There was a time I had several windows open, plus a word file and a windows media player playing in the background; this immediately froze my computer. I had no choice but to restart. One great thing I noticed about Firefox was the browsing speed. It was faster than Explorer. Even when Explorer came out with their version of tab-browsing, it was still slower than Firefox. There was another thing I noticed about file fox. There were various tools you can add-on to the browser itself. My favorite one is “video download helper.” This add-on allows downloading of any streaming online video (such as YouTube). Hands down, Firefox is one of the best browsers out there .
