del.icio.us

The ability to gather all my bookmarked sites together in one easy to use pile is very handy, and I have already gotten my own account. I am online every day, and like most of us who are, I have sites that I visit daily, some I visit once a week or so, and some (like sites with, for example, mouldering cheese on video) monthly.

I can see this as a good tool for anyone doing extended research for a project. As a writer, I do a lot of research and sometimes I'll run across a site I might not want to add to my lengthy list of favorites, but also don't want to plow through three pages of a Google search to find at a future date. Del.icio.us is a perfect spot for it. I have already added a few of those sites to my personal account.

I can also see where this might be useful for students researching projects, or even for myself - I am doing a mystery book display, and change my theme every three or four weeks. This would be a handy place to gather all the mystery websites I have found helpful without having to put them on our shared favorites page.

Also handy for us as a researching tool - putting all those websites we find helpful together for easy access (especially as my favorite websites may not be the same as my co-workers).
