Del.icio.us is a free service where thousands of people store their bookmarks, enabling you to see what’s trendy and popular. Bloggers can encourage readers to add their posts, allowing greater reach for a blogger’s content.

What makes Del.icio.us popular?

Del.icio.us is a site where thousands of users store their favorite online links and resources. (This is called a social bookmarking service - yes, just like the Backflip service back in the tech boom days of yore.)

When the favorites of thousands of users are collated, trends and enables you to see what’s trendy, what’s popular and what’s emerging.

Bloggers can add links to their posts enabling del.icio.us users to post that link to their list of bookmarks - this can promote your links as they are getting exposure in the del.icio.us ‘recently bookmarked’ list.

Del.icio.us is free and was acquired by Yahoo! in 2005.
