If you are using Del.icio.us, then you should be using the _Experimental Posting Tool_ bookmarklet you can find “here”:2. I wrote about it in an “old post”:1 talking about how handy it is. Since using the bookmarklet more, I’ve really grown to like some of it’s features.

Once the bookmarklet is added to your browser’s bookmarks, clicking on it pops up an add-to-del.icio.us window allowing you to bookmark the current page. What’s great about this is that it also displays all of your tags, some recommended tags and some popular tags.

Here’s an screenshot of the pop-up window for a computer shopping page I del.icio.us.ed (let’s just make it a verb and get it over with).

Notice the popular tag _comp.buys_ in the screenshot (this time there were no recommended tags). I guess that’s the “standard” tag for computer shopping pages. Neat.

The recommended tags and popular tags have helped me create my tagging schema. When I have questions on what the “right” tag to use is, I’ll refer to these two fields. I figure that using popular tags, when it makes sense, also helps users navigate my tags.
