Getting organized

Del.icio.us is an online bookmarking service that’s getting popular in the geek community.  It lets you post your bookmarks to a Web site, so they’ll be accessible from any computer, and share those bookmarks with other del.icio.us users.  Del.icio.us is not only a bookmarking service, it’s a research tool.  Yahoo recently introduced My Web 2, a service that incorporates many of the features of del.icio.us.  Backpack is an online service with a devoted cult, allowing users to gather to-do lists, calendars, photographs, and research materials for projects all in one place.  43Things allows users to write down their goals, share them with other users, find other users with common goals, and provide mutual assistance.  Amazon.com is an investor in 43Things.
