Switching to del.icio.us bookmarks.

Just before anyone thinks to themselves that this post doesn't seem to have much to do with the project, I'd like to give out the following link:

http://del.icio.us/lxsocon/frockle

That link will contain my own public bookmarks related to the Frockle project!

I'd been holding off from using del.icio.us for bookmarking purposes because I thought I was more comfortable thinking about bookmarks hierarchically. I've been using Google Browser Sync to synchronize my cookies, saved passwords, bookmarks, history, tabs & windows between my home and work machines, which is possible on any computer which has Firefox and the plugin. However, I did appreciate all along that there were many instances where tags really come into their own - such as when a given bookmark has two or more equally valid parents (or "containers"). What finally made me decide to make the switch was that at some point recently the Yahoo! del.icio.us Firefox plugin started offering the facility to use "classic" Firefox bookmarks side by side with the del.icio.us ones. It may just be a personal thing, but I find organizing the following in a hierarchical fashion more natural and logical:

• links to HTML documentation (manuals, API, etc).
• multi-tabs (bookmarking multiple related tabs).
  
• administrative URLs (links to administrating things like Tomcat instances, routers, etc).

So, I'm going to start shifting bookmarks in the above categories out of del.icio.us and (back) into Firefox.
