bob dolanRather than live in ignorance, however, I decided to ask a few fans for their perspective, and am pleased that three true experts stepped forward.

What's so cool about del.icio.us?

Alainn GozertI'll admit it. I don't really get what's so compelling about the Del.icio.us shared bookmark service that has some of my colleagues raving and acting as evangelists for the company. Rather than live in ignorance, however, I decided to ask a few fans for t

I also bookmark the "post to del.icio.us" script that makes adding bookmarks very quick and painless. The fact that it suggests "recommended tags" based on a semi-union of your existing tags and popular tags for a given item is very helpful. But the powerful thing about "recommended tags" is that it nudges people towards using common tags. T

As for utility, the simple fact that it doesn't fully support multi-word, phrase tags renders it uninteresting for my level of work. You should be able to tag pages as "Intuitive Life" and somebody should be able to query for "Intuitive Life" and get the bookmarks for the phrase and not the disconnected words, unless I choose to write my query as disconnected words. Actually, the service does appear to search through page titles using phrases, but the bookmarks themselves are not tagged by phrase, and even the searching varies between different search boxes for the service. It's rather confusing.

I've been watching digg a lot recently. It's an interesting cross between Slashdot and del.icio.us and has become incredibly popular. I check it at least as often as del.icio.us, every day. But del.icio.us is compelling to me and others for the same reason the Flickr is. You can get a lot out of the system by simply using it for yourself. However, there's a lot more "social infrastructure" there if you want to tap into it. In del.icio.us you can see what other people think is popular, which tags, they use, etc.

I've been using it for about a year now. My first bookmark was in November of 2004. But I was browsing del.icio.us for a few months before I finally got on board as a user. I probably post 5-15 links a week and visit the site a few times a day, usually to see the "popular" page which showcases the sites that have been getting bookmarked the most recently.

1 - Users can go to the site and see the most recent and most popular items. This is the way that most people get started. Along the way they can't help but learn a little bit about the fact that the site uses tags to organize the items inside.

I think, though, that the value of Delicious isn't obvious to everyone, especially people who tend to use one platform or browser exclusively. It didn't help that the help pages that were available a year ago weren't terribly thorough (that's being remedied now). Moreover, not everyone may be comfortable with creating a public list of links. And there is the drawback that (for now, at least) you don't have the option of adding private bookmarks. I do have to maintain a separate list of links to things like my domain admin login pages, for example. Hey, I don't want to share everything.
