I would add bookmarks to it once in awhile when I know I’ll be needing the bookmark somewhere else on another computer. Most of my bookmarks were in my Firefox browser. Some bookmarks were bookmarked with Google’s star thingy. And the rest was either in del.icio.us or somewhere in a textfile on my computer.

Today I decided I should just keep all my bookmarks in one place. The obvious choice here was to use del.icio.us. I won’t be able to access my bookmarks elsewhere with Firefox and I’m scared of Google. So I grabbed the Firefox extension which allows me to import all my bookmarks into del.icio.us. Importing was a real pain because the extension would not import all my bookmarks at once. I had to import by each folder, which I had like 10 folders of.

At the same time, I went ahead to uninstall my Google toolbar. The only purpose I installed Google toolbar was so that Google could know where I went and I could come back to search it. But after thinking about it, it’s kind of scary so I cleared all my history Google has (and my 5200+searches), although I still want Google to track my searches so I can enjoy my own geekiness of Googling 30+ times a day.

Another reason I ported to del.icio.us was I wanted to be able to share my bookmarks here with you guys. I figured I’d give the del.icio.us auto post feature a try. You should be seeing daily posts of my bookmarks if the thing actually works :P .

So in the meantime, go ahead and check out what I find delicious here. Most of my bookmarks are programming and web development related XD
