Delicious!

Delicious. Good name. I've already used it to list 13 of my favorite sites and I anticipate I'll add more over time. So far the biggest advantage is having my favorites being accessible from whatever computer I'm using. I noodled around a little looking at other people's favorites but haven't seen a big advantage yet. I'll spend more time with it once I catch up on Learn & Play.

Del.icio.us (they finally changed their name to delicious.com, I guess after people spent years being confused) is immensely helpful to me as a centralized place to keep all of my bookmarks.

Every now and then I search other people's bookmarks after Google fails to do the trick, and I often get what I want.

Another handy use is to make a note of pages about a particular topic (such as web2.0) I find that look useful but that I dont' have time to examine in detail at the moment I find them. I can pull up a list of pages tagged "web2.0" at a future date when I have more time to review that information.

Yet another use is to hunt down a page I've recently visited but whose name and URL I forget. I can often track it down by searching for the keywords/tags I've associated with the bookmark, much handier than trying to remember the name of the folder in which I decided to store it that particular day.
