For some time now, I’ve been using social bookmarking site delicious to keep track of interesting links, both for my personal use and for sharing with others. My new delicious bookmarks get posted automatically to twitter and into the handy little widget on this blog. Delicous’ parent company, Yahoo, is in the process of laying off 4% of its staff, and it seems like delicious will be closed down as part of this exercise. Not cool! So I’m looking for a new social bookmarking thingy that works well with twitter and WordPress. If you have any suggestions, please leave them in the comments or send via twitter. Thanks!
A pretty picture of me

Ha! No, I’m not giving you an actual pretty picture of me – I may have a blog but I’m not that much of a narcissist. Two of my favourite online toys right now are Wordle and social bookmarking site Delicious, which I started using a couple of months ago as a way of keeping track of links and bookmarks. So far it works well for me and it integrates nicely with other applications I use, like Twitter and FriendFeed. I created a Wordle of my Delicious tags and despite having only used the site for a short while, the tags sum my science-related interests up pretty well (and it looks so attractive!).

Now apparently I just need to settle on how I want to spell “visualis/zation”!
