Social bookmarking

I think Delicious is absolutely great. I wrote my library school dissertation on social bookmarking, where I considered the usefulness of tagging for academic information seeking, although I made my experiments in another system, Connotea. It's convenient to be able to reach your bookmarks from any web computer; it's interesting to view the data organised by tag or username (pivot browsing).

As I mentioned before, I've lost the habit of keeping my Delicious account current. But I've now tried for the first time importing, then 'bulk editing' one of the bookmarks folders from my browser, and it worked well. That could be a way to bring my Delicious account up to date.
