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.
