Social bookmarking, shit like that.

For some reason, "social bookmarking" sounds a lot like "casual sex." Could you elaborate? I have no clue what social bookmarking is.

i think social bookmarking leads to casual sex anyway, so pretty much the same thing.

HEHE...

It's a method of organizing your links basically. They use metadata to categorize and store your links using specific tags. These links, and link groups, are shared publicly whereby people can search through them by category, date etc....more or less.

Elite C&C is actually my most visited link in Delicious.

This is a very cool new feature called social bookmarking. It allows you to share posts here with other people around the world who may not be members of EF.

For example, let's say Rick Collins decides to publish an article here about decriminalization of steroids. Those links allow that article to escape the confines of EF so the world will get access to it and we can make our point of view known.
