If you have seen me in the library, you know I work on many different computers. In addition, I have two computers at home. For this reason, I like using del.icio.us to tag websites instead of having favorites on several different computers and never knowing just which computer I was at when I found a web sites. One thing that has frustrated me with del.icio.us, however, is that it can be hard to find the right tags at times. Delizzy has just made that easier.
Here’s what the site says:
What is del.izzy?
del.izzy is a free service that lets you search through your del.icio.us bookmarks.
Wait a second, doesn’t del.icio.us already let me do that? What’s different about del.izzy?
del.icio.us is a great service, but when you search through your bookmarks, you are only searching through tags, titles and descriptions, not the page content.
del.izzy lets you search through all content, including title, description and page content, for all your bookmarks.
