'''Delicious''' is a social bookmarking service that allows users to save, tag, manage and share bookmarks from a centralized source. A significant aspect of the site is that, like many Web 2.0 sites, its tags are user-generated, non-hierarchical, and uncontrolled. Users create and apply their own tags in one step, and they can apply as many tags as they like to each bookmark.

In the mid to late 2000s, Delicious was probably the most popular social bookmarking service, both among fanfic fans and everyone else. However, Delicious's reign ended in September 2011 when the new company that had bought it relaunched the site with an unfinished redesign. Even after functionality was restored, the redesign made Delicious less useful to many of its former users.

In general, the convenience of Delicious encouraged a shift from posting rec lists on [[fansite]]s and blogs. However, Delicious may be more popular among [[Journal-based fandom|journaling fans]] than other fan communities. (?)
