Hi all,
I just wanted to share with you one of my tricks for better organizing my bookmarks in delicious.
Today’s trick consist of using hashtags (e.g. #research) instead of regular tags when annotating/bookmarking web resources on delicious. Like twitter’s hashtags, they are not officially specifically handled/supported by delicious (yet?), but they are useful for me to make a difference between general/public tags and personal tags. Let me explain with a few examples:

  • I use the “research” tag for resources that deal with research in general. I use “#research” for resources that I keep for MY research
  • I use a “#todo” tag for stuff I need to read later. This shows that some tags can be irrelevant to other users but very practical for personal matters. Hashtags is a way to separate these two kind of tags.
  • Finally, I use a “#profiles” tag to list my profiles on the internet. A regular “profiles” tag would just not make sense to the community of delicious users.
