Three Intriguing Online Content Tools

Stumbleupon_4I want to share three free tools that have changed the way I use the internet. First up is del.icio.us. If you don’t have an account yet – get one. Like the rest of these tools, it’s free. One of the more popular social bookmarking sites, del.icio.us allows me to quickly bookmark interesting and critical sites I use and share them with friends. There are a few key features that make del.icio.us my bookmark site of choice. Among them

1) you can store all your bookmarks in one place and they’re accessible from any computer or handheld
2) the use of metatags to allow you to find your bookmarks (ever created hundreds of nested folders? then you know why use of metatags provides such a better solution)
3) you can share your bookmarks with friends easily.
4) you can learn about others sites easily

The second is StumbleUpon. Imagine a friend sending you a random site that’s really cool, organized according to your interests. StumbleUpon does this well. And the sites are interesting. ’nuff said. Check it out.

Lastly, Digg provides community submitted content and links. The ultimate popularity contest for the web.
