23 Things #13

While examining Del.icio.us through the PLCMCL2 account, I could see why the site is so popular. Using Del.icio.us takes some of the guesswork out of research and websurfing because people have found and tagged the websites already. The search box on the site really helps with its use and using the tags to find related sites is great.

The comments by individual users of Del.icio.us could be helpful but by clicking on a particular user's notes, you can access all of the user's websites tagged on Del.icio.us. In fact, anytime your username appears on Del.icio.us all of your tagged websites can be accessed. I realize this is described as a "social bookmarking" site, but I can see some privacy concerns using this site for anything but research or professional bookmarks.
