Every Friday I try to share a selection of things that I found worthy of bookmarking in Delicious during the week. “What’s Delicious”, you may ask? From the horse’s mouth:
The Web is a big place, full of new and interesting things to discover. The problem is finding the good stuff and keeping track of it all. This is where Delicious can help.
Delicious is a Social Bookmarking service, which means you can save all your bookmarks online, share them with other people, and see what other people are bookmarking. It also means that we can show you the most popular bookmarks being saved right now across many areas of interest. In addition, our search and tagging tools help you keep track of your entire bookmark collection and find tasty new bookmarks from people like you.
You can always check out all of my Delicious tags here, but this is a regular column on this site where I bring together the best of the bunch.

Things that were delicious this week – 2 April, 2010
- This piece from MediaPost titled “What Type Of Social Media Ads Are The Most Effective?” caught my eye. It’s a great example of how, every once in a while, you should ignore what everyone tells you. In this case: Although banners and newsletters were most likely to be seen as ads (and you’ll often be told to steer away from them in this more “social and engaged world”) they were among the best at triggering purchase intent and viral recommendations.
- “Strike Keyword Gold By Writing A Simple Story” – Common sense, meet SEO copywriting. KISS.
- John Jantsch (always a great read) arms you with some major twitter artillery in his post, “7 insanely useful ways to search Twitter“. A practical piece with tips that you can action today.
- Is Google going to purge its index and introduce “Super Caffeine”? At this point, I’d file this in the “major speculation” column, but if true it could indicate some major changes in the SERPs (search engine results page).
