This is another site I've heard about and looked at, but never really interacted with before. Both the videos were very helpful in describing it and its usefulness. I can see it's use both in research and for personal/social use. For example, I work with teens, and it's really rather difficult to keep up with all the things they're interested in. I find myself stretched in several directions to try to accommodate. However, with this kind of tool, I can track useful websites for readers advisory and jsut for my own information (especially in areas like Manga, where I am dreadfully behind the times). In reference activities, especially if you have a special interest or a specific clientele, this is clearly a good way of organizing ideas so you can quickly pull whatever your patrons need.
My personal experience this time with delicious led me to a site called The 43 Things, which is a nice social site that allows people to list their goals (large and small) and work in teams with other users for encouragement and inspiration. I set up an account already and it's interesting to see who shares my goals--and a little frustrating when I find that the way I've worded my goal makes me the lone achiever! Tags to the rescue, in that case. :) Now that I've written this, I see that the 43 things is also linked to our 2.0 blog, as a footnote. Hmmm. Maybe someday I'll learn to read ahead a little sooner!
