I’ve been using del.icio.us to maintain a list of bookmarks for some time now. I read a bunch of different blogs and news sites that cover a lot of different topics, many of them at least somewhat related to amateur radio, emergency communications, and/or homeland security. One of the cool functions del.icio.us offers is an RSS feed containing any combination of the tags I’ve used to “mark” bookmarks as I save them to my list. You can now see the links I tag (and save to del.icio.us) as I browse, under the heading “Reading List” on the right side of the page. It’s not quite updated in real time, but usually within a few minutes of me adding a link.

I’m using the reading list a handy way of sharing things I’m reading that you might be interested in, without having to post an article that says nothing more than “hey- go read this about -whatever”. As you’re clicking past, I hope you find it useful.

If you haven’t used del.icio.us (or any other social bookmarking site; there are several that work pretty much the same way), here’s an introduction to how it all works.
