Delicious is a social bookmarking web service owned by Yahoo for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks. It has more than five million users and 150 million bookmarked URLs. Delicious uses a non-hierarchical keyword categorization system in which users can tag each of their bookmarks with a number of freely chosen keywords. All bookmarks posted to Delicious are publicly viewable by default, although users can mark specific bookmarks as private, and imported bookmarks are private by default.
