I now have an account at delicious. See:

Delicious is a social web bookmark sharing site that uses a keyword tagging categorization to organize your bookmarks.  So far I really haven't determined an every-day use for Delicious.  Right now I have the Foxmarks pluglin for Firefox, so my bookmarks automatically sync between the several computers I use.  I don't have so many bookmarks that I really need a service like Delicious to manage them.

That said, I do like the networking ability.  It is just one more piece of the pie linking all of my sites together.  Here's a list of things you can do with Delicious:

Cool Things You Can Do With Bookmarks and Tags

1. Research: del.icio.us allows you to keep track of all your online sources if you are working on a paper, an article, or drafting a new blog post.
2. Vacation Planning: Save links to possible destinations, events, hotels, travel sites, cool tours, restaurants and maps using del.icio.us.
3. Event Planning: If you are trying to plan a wedding or another big event you can use del.icio.us tags like "Budget," "Dresses," "Venues" or "Honeymoon" to keep your online options organized.
4. Wishlist: Keep an online wishlist of products you'd like for Birthday, Christmas, Valentines Day, Mothers/Fathers day.  Just bookmark the products by using a "Wishlist" tag.
5. Collaboration: Share information with co-workers or friends by creating a shared del.icio.us account or sharing your bookmarks through a network.
6. Discover Popular Resources: Delicious has more that 5 million users, so no matter what you're looking for, one of the del.icio.us users has bookmarked a site related to it. Discover other users' resources through a simple search from the del.icio.us homepage.
