your research topic. You might find web pages you were not aware
existed by viewing the bookmarks of other del.icio.us users that
have tagged the same pages you bookmarked.

Bundle
Tags: |
Once your list of bookmarked web pages and
tag list starts to grow, you may want to organize them so
they're easier to find. "Bundles" allow you to arrange
tagged web pages into groups. For example, if you've found
web pages on blogging, wikis, RSS, and podcasting, you might
want to create a bundle called "Web 2.0".
