del.icio.us

A week ago I created a del.icio.us account and tagged the websites that I had bookmarked on my computer. To be honest since then I have only opened up my del.icio.us account once and that was to add something else. In saying this I don't know how helpful I would find it as a research tool. I can see how helpful it would be if you use multiple computers and always want access to your bookmarks.

IS has a lot on their del.icio.us account but how many staff members turn to the account before doing a general online search? I might be wrong but I would guess that instinct would be to do a google search and then pull up del.icio.us if you can't find something with your search. Don't get me wrong I think this is a great way to keep track of useful websites but at the same time I think it is kind of like that one reference book you pull off the shelf when you hit the wall for ideas.
