Reflection on use of delicious for academic bookmarking

Delicious is a social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks. It can help academic learners to add bookmarks of a wide range of useful topics which can help them with their studies. It has the features that let us to search specific topics in the search box and has the options to follow or be followed by others. The feed option shows the post and links which are published by those whom we are following.
I personally believe that the delicious can help me to interact with my colleagues and is useful on group projects to see each other works, sharing ideas and can comment on the issues. It can always keep me in contact with my bookmarks, my works, and the useful links which I added them to my account. It is simply a portable way of carrying my links with me all the times. In addition, during adding bookmarks we put the exact URL of the intended articles or topics as links, brief evolution of the content of the text, and some keywords as tags to help us remember what the article is about.
Furthermore, the delicious has the features which lets us to publish our bookmarks either private or public. The private mode is just let the user to see the bookmarks but the public mode permits others to see them. The delicious has a limitation regarding to follow or being followed by others. It is that, it needs the exact URL of delicious user in order to follow or being followed.
