Del.icio.us you say?

Well it didn't come across tasting as good as pickled herring and lutefisk at a holiday smörgåsbord but I still liked it (for the most part).

For finding websites related to any given topic through exploration this is a great tool, for killing time by browsing the Internet this is a really great tool. Browsing sites tagged with 'robot' I came across Wired magazines The 50 Best Robots Ever along with plenty of other great sites.

As for useful in the library setting? Well I'm not really convinced of that. Maybe if you wanted to find some general info on a topic and had some keywords in mind you could come across a hidden Internet gem (if other people had tagged it as you would), not the most efficient way to search but certainly an option. I also didn't care for how it organized my bookmarks, I wanted to refine and organize them more than del.icio.us allowed.

In the end its fun to see what's been tagged by different people and I found a lot of interesting web pages I may have otherwise never been exposed to, and its got a cool name.
