Today there is a lot of good information freely available on the Internet. The trouble is not only how to find it but remembering where it is after you have found it.

Google helps solve the first part, but the second is not so easy.

Enter online bookmarking.

With online bookmarking, no matter where you are you can bookmark the site to come back to at a later date. While most browsers have the ability to bookmark pages, these sites have several advantages. First adding content no matter where you are or what computer you are using. Second they allow you to tag the links with key words so you can find them again. Finally they are social you can share links with friends.

These three advantages make tools like Delicious so powerful.

2Vouch has a Delicious account where we collect interesting links that relate to social recruiting, employee referrals and general career advice. You can explore our links and if you have an RSS reader you can subscribe to all our links, or subscribe just a specific tag such as SocialRecruiting. If you are a Delicious user you can add 2Vouch to your network and we share relevant links. You can see our links on the sidebar of the blog as well.

Delicious also allows you to see who else has bookmarked the same links and explore their bookmarks. Given you have both bookmarked the same item you probably have the same interests.

A final comment. Delicious also has private links, this allows you to privately share links between your friends within Delicious. As an employer or recruiter you could use this feature to tag potential candidates.
