Tips for using del.icio.us

I have become a big fan of the social bookmarking site del.icio.us, as you might have guessed, so I thought I might share some tips that I had.

In Getting Things Done, David Allen talks about processing your inbox, which may be either a literal or metaphorical inbox, by periodically purging it. Every item in your inbox gets filed as either a to-do item, reference material, or gets sent to the trash.

Whenever I encounter a link that I find even slightly interesting, I file it under the tag "toread". If I think a link might be worthy of a blog entry, I tag it as "toblog".
