Del.icio.us

Can you see the potential of this tool for research assistance? Or just as an easy way to create bookmarks that can be accessed from anywhere?

I opened up a del.icio.us account this past summer but didn't really see the use in it. I revisited my account after the MLA webcast on Web 2.0 tools and have been using it daily since then. For me, it is a great way to have sites bookmarked that are accessible at work, at home, and from any other computer I am visiting. If someone recommends a site to me and I don't have the time to pour over it, I tag it using del.icio.us and review it later. I have definitely become a fan!
I think it can be useful to librarians as a way to tag helpful resources for answering reference questions or addressing any other work-related issues. It could also be something that a librarian could recommend to a patron that is always on the go.
