As the late great Cole Porter sang....
"It's del.ight.ful, it's del.icio.us, it's del.ectab.le, it's del.irio.us,
It's dil.em.ma, it's de.lim.it, it's del.uxe, it's de-love.ly "
What a wonderful thing del.icio.us is. I am a great believer in wandering off in tangents or browsing or discovering things by serendipity but sometimes it is nice to be pointed in a particular direction by somebody who has been down the path before you. That is why I like the "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" function in Amazon which shows you what similarly like-minded folk are reading, watching or listening to.
del.icio.us allows you to discover what other folk who have similar potentially esoteric interests to your own are checking out on the WEB and where you can go to find it. It's a bit like going round to a friend's house and scanning their bookshelves to see what they are reading and discovering a brand new author or book that you hadn't come across before.
Of course it is also very useful for bookmarking the sites that you may want to keep track of without being tied to your personal computer.
Two thumbs up for del.icio.us!!
