Delicious!?

Delicious, when I first entered the site, has always been a bit of an "experience", shall we say. I have never really found it to be all that user friendly, but I guess that means this was a great experience for me!

I feel that Delicious is a little bit too busy for any coherent true understanding of what is being offered on the website. There "are only words", as one customer put it to me. As well, there aren't really any instruction as to what to do for the customers, who aren't exactly computer literate. It just seems really overwhelming at first glance, which I think puts off a lot of people, who might otherwise use it.

Another disadvantage would be that anyone can bookmark any website. Some of the things I found weren't exactly kid friendly!

On the other side, it is advantageous to have a website were you can bookmark your favorite websites, and be able to see them no matter where you are in the world. It is great to be able to bring up your favorites without needing to use your own computer. As well, it is nice to have a collection of websites that, for the most part, are used only for what you need them for, as in the CPL best websites.

So now, for me, Delicious is not this monster I had initially thought when I saw it for the first time! I have conquered one uncomfortable experience!!
