I've been using del.icio.us for quite awhile - although it's taken me almost as long to type the address properly. De.lici.ous and various combinations don't work. It seems to me that my computer(s) should realize what I MEANT to type after all this time, instead of what I did type, but no such luck. This is why book marks are so great - if I can't type that one, just think what I'd do with something REALLY complicated! I'm not always at my own computer when I want to show someone something - so I appreciate being able to log into Del. etc. and get to my links.
I use de. to keep track of things that I'm interested in, or things I come across at work that I may want to look at at home. Librarians and teachers could use it for projects - for example, a teacher could use de., furl, etc to save links and research they want their students to see and/or use. Librarians could do this as well for subject and research guides. (pathfinders, anyone?) Some of the libraries we saw link by general topic, others by Dewey categories. Personally I prefer Dewey, but it works either way.
