It's Better than Bad--It's Del.icio.us!

I'm glad they got rid of all the extra periods in the url--easier to type.

I explored delicious.com, viewed some popular bookmarks and explored tags. It seems pretty straightforward and intuitive. I enjoyed the lolcats page that was bookmarked for CML and was laughing audibly, though I wondered why no one had tagged the site with, oh, say, "cats."

Del.icio.us could actually be a pretty useful tool, especially if you happen to be on a "guest" computer when you run across a really cool website and want to save it. It also may provide an easier way to find other web sites that you're interested in than doing a Google search, since human beings categorize the web pages instead of a formula determining relevancy by keywords and site traffic. However, this depends on the accuracy and taste of the human beings tagging the sites.

The sharing concept is good: you share your finds and I'll share mine. Still, like with many social networking tools, there often is a lot of garbage to sift through to get to the gold.
