I just set up the del.icio.us account. I think it will be useful, but I don't enjoy being told by my computer's antivirus softward that del.icio.us is sending me trojan viruses every time I add a site to my account.
I am a little nervous about having everyone else look at what I am bookmarking. I find myself censoring what I bookmark for personal use to the site.
I think that social bookmarking has great potential for use as resource lists for classes. A list of links about a topic could be used with course management software, or a link to a list of Web sites on del.icio.us could be added to the list of databases and resources on a topic on the library's Web site. It is easy to add and delete links, and easy to add comments about a site.
One librarian stated on a discussion list post that she keeps a list of bookmarks that she uses for various presentations on del.icio.us, and then uses the links during her presentations.
