When you Bookmark (or create a Favorite) of a web page or site in your web broswer, a link and name is stored on your PC and you can find it later and share it with others. What if you wanted to share them with other people or the world? Enter Delicious (del.icio.us), a web site to post and share Bookmarks and more features. It is very useful tool and there are several other ones available like Digg, Reddit, Friend,

Even when you say it 2X, I'm still not sure what it is or what you want :?:

I think what Brent is asking is whether on the c-brat site there is a spot to archive bookmarks that brats have found useful. http://delicious.com/ is a website that allows users to share bookmarks.
Brent -- I don't think there is such a thread here, but I suppose one could be started. I think most people just use the search function to find related sites. When I come across a useful thread I just bookmark it locally.

While on this subject I needed some #4 wire to hookup and inverter and started an on line search. West Marine price was $5.69 per foot and I needed 20'. I didn't find anything reasonable on line so I did a search on C-Brat sight and found GenuinedealZ.com. Thier marine grade # 4 wire was $1.60 per foot with free shipping. I ordered it and some other items and it arrived in two days. If some sort of a list gets started I nominate GenuinedealZ.com great prices and service.
I've been thinking about this, and starting a thread where C-Brat members could recommend related boating sites to each other would, I think, be a good idea.
That way, we wouldn't have to go to another site and hunt them down, and each member would wind up bookmarking their own sites to remember individually, as they saw fit.
We get a lot of recommended sites already through discussions, and such a thread would allow a member to recommend a site they found useful without it being brought up in a relevant thread.
We don't want to create an additional management burden for Mike and Bill, so the simplest way should probably be used.
I don't know how hard or how much time would be involved on the alternative, which would be to keep a list of links monitored and organized, but the first solution sounds easier to me.
Perhaps these recommended sites and their addresses would be easier to find if a topic called "Recommended Resources and Links" were added to the Technical Section of the Library, unless someone else can think of a better or more logical place to place them so they can be found.
A beginning thread Simply entitled "Recommended Resources and Links" could cover everything unless we later found we had to categorize them for search/browsing purposes.
Let's discuss it further for a bit and see what everyone thinks, (especially Mike and Bill)!
Side Note: Did anyone else notice a new category at the bottom of the Pub Forum Index entitled "If You Must"? We'll wait patiently for an explanation. :?:

The question was if anyone has stored the couple of thousands of links posted on this site about products, services and other boating related items mentioned in CB messages to another service to store them in order and add comments, and back links to the source to share with other folks. I have only stored a few links as Bookmarks (or Favorites) and it is difficult to search the site for something you recall reading but cant find easily. Second if you has already setup Delicious page then others add to the list. Go to http://delicious.com/ and take a look
Brent,
On this old thread I made a list of organized bookmarks for many of my favorite images of C-Dory modifications. In this case, I simply took bookmarks from my browser and edited in such a way that I could include them in a regular post.
After your explanation above, I did play a little bit with del.icio.us but I haven't quite gotten to where I relate their organizational schema. E.g. it appears that they are entirely focused on tags and on using tags as filters but I haven't figured out how to organize bookmarks on their site in a hierarchical fashion. I did export all my bookmarks to the site (still private) and the same collection of C-Dory modifications is there. However, I can't find a way to make the entire collection shared just by clicking on the equivalent of the folder that contains them. E.g. I've got them nicely organized according to folders like
C-Dory Modifications
Bilge Area
(bilge relevant book marks)
Transom Modifications and Tables
(relevant bookmarks)
etc.
Don't know how to accomplish the same task via del.icio.us without manually adding a bunch of tags to every link.

I have set one up - I'm just not thrilled with the organizational schema/plan for bookmark organization that they use and was hoping you could provide some pointers on how to get hierarchical bookmark organization there. On edit:
I see that del.icio.us says the following about bookmarks and tags vs folders
From delicious site":2xwe618h said:Folders were the old way to organize your bookmarks. They were great if you only had a few bookmarks and a few folders, but as your collection grew, it became harder and harder to decide what goes where. Delicious has a new and better way: tags.
Tags are simply words you use to describe a bookmark. Unlike folders, you make up tags when you need them and you can use as many as you like. This means, for example, that all of the bookmarks you tag with funny and video will automatically be placed in the "funny" collection and the "video" collection. Since tags work the same way for everyone, you can also check out other people's "funny" or "video" bookmarks. You can even combine tags to see bookmarks with funny and video.
OK - I can buy that to some extent but I would also argue that there's some benefit to hierarchical organization as opposed to just tags. But, what I find more frustrating is that the plug-in toolbar that delicious provides for use with Firefox provides no mechanism for applying the same tag to multiple bookmarks at once - e.g. I have a fair amount of effort/time into organizing my bookmarks in folders. I'd like to select a folder - say "Boating" and apply the tag "boating" to every URL in that folder and all contained sub-folders. Then I might want to select a sub folder say "C-Dory Modifications" and apply the tags "C-Dory" and "modifications" to all bookmarks within that folder and all sub folders. As far as I can tell, there's no way to do that without doing the same thing to each and every bookmark one at a time. That, I find irritating. Any ideas/suggestions on how to solve this or will it be easier for me to export all my bookmarks and then do some programming to allow me to apply tags to multiple bookmarks at once?
Well, they do have an online bulk tag editing feature (in beta) which while still not exactly as useful as I would like it to be was pretty useful. Hence, I was able to take my old bookmarks and edit the tags. Now if you search del.icio.us for the tags "C-Dory" and "Modifications" - you will pull up the same links as were in my old post. I've shared them out so anyone can find them there. To make this truly useful, it would be good to establish some common tags that we would all agree to use - e.g. if someone else posts their bookmarks on the same topic to delicious but uses the tags "CDory" (without the -) and/or "Mods" (as opposed to "modifications") the URL's won't get grouped together in a search.
