Sounds a little like a Wild Kingdom show I saw once when Marlin Perkins suddenly yelled, "Time to topple the camel!" and he ran over and actually pushed the poor thing over.
Hobby blogs are interesting, especially when they offer tips and help for solving challenges. Some of my interests are quilting, knitting, reading, and creating items for my dollhouse. The dollhouse items are usually tiny little quilts, knitted afgans, and books. See a pattern here?

Re-Del.icio.us
This was a good chance to become reacquainted with Del.icio.us. A friend had told me a couple of years ago about this terrific tool for carrying your bookmarks with you anywhere a computer is available. I don't believe the toolbar buttons were available at that time, or (is it possible?) I just didn't understand about loading them. For whatever reason, I thought the idea was great, but it seemed a little clunky, always having to be logged into Del.icio.us to save a favorite site, so I never really got into it.
Now that I have gone back into it, I found the links I'd added at that time, and it was interesting to see how many other people also liked the same ones. I also think having the toolbar buttons available will prompt me to more frequent savings.
Whether it is such a good research tool or not is questionable. I feel it is a little like Wikipedia: a lot of people linking, but how reliable are they? Social, definitely.
