People must have a lot more bookmarks than I do if they feel the need to commit them to a commercial service and put tags on them. I doubt if I've got 30 bookmarked on the busiest computer I use, and I know why I have them. When I travel, I only need one and can google everything else I want. I don't have enough to make going to one more place to collect cookies on me worth the bother, but if people do, I don't see why they shouldn't. I sampled a few libraries' bookmarks to the delicious site (YOU figure out all the dots and capitalizations), and many of the links were dead. And this is useful how?
I've never worked in a group where that much information is necessary that couldn't be found easily, without yet another layer of fuss and bother, but if a working group thinks it needs delicious, OK by me. If a library wants to use it to manage its links to the good stuff, assuming somebody actually checks on it from time to time to prune dead links, OK by me. It just seems like adding another layer of work to me, and I'm against that.
