Delicious turns 5

Delicious, the social bookmarking site that was largely responsible for making ‘tagging’ one of the defining elements in today’s web, has turned 5.  In December 2005 the site was acquired by Yahoo, now it has up to 5.3 million users and with over 180 million unique URLs saved.

For example, Joshua_Schachter is the founder of Delicious, http://delicious.com/joshua shows all of the tags created by him. Likewise, http://delicious.com/danielwang shows all the delicious tags I’ve ever created.
