Two great tastes…

Last week, our friends over at del.icio.us announced their new Internet Explorer extension, which integrates del.icio.us right into an IE browser. The extension allows you to:

Quickly access your del.icio.us favorites, network and settings.

Save any page; add tags, a description and notes.

You’ll also be able to add notes automatically simply by highlighting text on the page, which saves mouse time. The extension runs on Windows 2000 and XP, and supports IE 5.5, 6 and 7 (betas 1 and 2).

I just downloaded the IE extension for myself. It only took a few seconds and did not (hallelujah!) require me to restart my machine, only close and reopen my browser. There’s already an extension for you cutting-edge Firefox fans.

Not familiar with del.icio.us? It’s a social networking tool that allows you to save, store and share web pages, building community around your interests. It’s a great buzz-builder for the avid blogger. For more info, visit the del.icio.us about page. And for more detail on this and other new del.icio.us releases, visit their blog.
