It's a great tool for pure mindless time-suckage. Whether it is valuable or not, I can't comment. I'm just a viewer that enjoys the randomness and ease of effortless surfing.

When I first discovered Del.icio.us I didn't pay it any attention at all until last fall when I took a second look at my boss' suggestion--even then I didn't think much of it until I installed the tagging buttons on my browser and now it has become an integral part of my web experience. Reasons why I think it's great: 1.) I have three computers in my life--home, school and work--it is awesome to have portable bookmarks. 2.) Link sharing within your network. Everyone has those people in their lives that they are constantly swapping links with; when you tag a link you can chose to also send it to someone in your network. The next time they log in they will be alerted that they have new links. I like this better then the Share feature in my Google Reader, simply because sometimes you might want to send a link to only specific people. This way, you know they'll notice it. 3.) Tag surfing. And by this I mean being able to click on one of your tags and getting a list of all users' links tagged with 'whatever' in the entire Del.icio.us network. 4.) Saved by XXX others. I guess this is similar to the above. Maybe I'm just nosy, but when I link something I want to see who else has tagged this because they have probably also tagged a bunch of other links I'd be interested in. So, yeah, I am now what can be described only as a Del.icio.us evangelist. Can't wait to hear how you like it.
