Flickr and del.icio.us Mar05 '05

Content management is important when it comes to things like links and images. Thankfully, two new web sites help ease the pain of organization.

del.icio.us

I’ve been thinking about getting into the social bookmarks club, to help me better organize and manage links.

Chad gives some more details about delicious.

I think a bookmark manager is a great system, and something like this is probably long overdue.

You can organize your bookmarks according to your personalized themes, view your bookmarks from anywhere in the world, share them with others, and see what everyone else is linking to. (This is just a short list of the benefits.)

I already have a Headlines/Links section on this site, but I am thinking about doing that in del.icio.us, and somehow incorporating my links from del.icio.us on this site. I have yet to figure that out.

I haven’t had much opportunity to delve into the features at Flickr, but so far I am really impressed. It seems to be a complete content management system – with anything from email to photo management included.

As with del.icio.us, I am looking for a way to incorporate my Flickr images on my blog here.

Use the tools available

With both of these applications, it is smart to use them, if you have a need.

Whereas I have already developed a database for my links, it makes no sense to keep doing it that way, when there are better tools out there.
