Del.icio.us has rightfully become a bit of a phenomenon with the web kids. It’s such a great, elegant solution for sharing bookmarks and posting links. For another thing, it’s the totally simple way I run the links section over in the right rail.

I really love my inbox and its subscription functionality, but I’m sort of surprised that more folks don’t seem to use it at all. (I know this because I like to stalk my friends’ inboxes for sources of new stuff.)

Click “subscribe” at the top of most pages to add any user or any tag to your inbox—you can even use the very cool operators function to combine tags (try “funny+blogs” or “cool+design”). Anytime a new post arrives that meets your criteria, it appears in your inbox. Great way to learn about a new topic or stay up to date on an old favorite. Also a swell way to keep up with what you’re friends are enjoying.
