This is the second in an ongoing series called “Beyond The Big Three,” which will highlight social networking sites other than Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. There are tons of other social media outposts on the Web, and they’re great places for associations to curate content. The first installment on Flickr can be found here. Stay tuned.

You know when you find a cool blog post, video or Web site and add it to your Web browser’s “Favorites” folder to reference later? What if there was not only a better way to organize your Favorites, but a Web site that let you access them from any computer or Internet browser?

Such a site does exist! Maybe you’re already familiar with Delicious, but in my opinion, it’s one of the most underrated social networking sites. It’s a great way to jump into social networking without devoting your entire marketing or PR strategy to the social web.

Upon creation of a Delicious account, you can sign in and bookmark any Web sites from any computer or browser, and you’ll be able to access them from anywhere. Additionally, you can tag your bookmarks – some of my favorites for the MemberClicks account include “socialmedia,” “associationmanagement” and “strategy.” (Tags must be one word only.)

You can search your bookmarks by multiple tags, which makes cross-referencing bookmarks a snap. Want to find all your bookmarks that include “socialmedia” and “strategy?” Easy! Want “socialmedia” and “associationmanagement?” No problem!

Delicious also allows for interaction between users. Your bookmarks can be public or private, but this is after all a social media site, so going private is a little counterproductive. (After all, this isn’t your private diary we’re talking about. They’re just Web sites you liked!)

Therefore, when your bookmarks are public, others can find them based on the tags you give them. You can also add other users to your network and search their bookmarks. Delicious even shows how many times a link has been added and ranks bookmarks based on popularity – when you go to the homepage, you have the option of viewing the newest bookmarks, or the most popular ones.

Delicious recently added a “Share” feature, so you can e-mail your bookmarks to contacts whom don’t use the tool.

There are lots of add-ons for Delicious. For example, I use the Firefox add-on so when I right-click on a Web site, there’s an automatic option to bookmark it in Delicious. Very handy.

I highly recommend Delicious for sharing useful information with your association’s staff and members. The URLs are easy to remember (ours is delicious.com/memberclicks) and it allows you to aggregate relevant and important content to refer back to whenever you (or your members) like.

Are you already using Delicious, or does your organization? Don’t forget to add us to your network so we can share links!
