• But del.icio.us has bigger problems. It has not changed much in years and cannot seem to get its 2.0 version out the door. This despite the fact that Schachter’s team of engineers has been working diligently on improvements since last September. The new version looked like it was ready to go in January, but then the launch was mysteriously pulled. There are rumors that scalability issues were plaguing the project. Hell, it’s been so long that Delicious 2.0 is news again (and, oh yeah, the periods are going away).
• Since our goal here is not to grow traffic
• But del.icio.us has bigger problems. It has not changed much in years and cannot seem to get its 2.0 version out the door.

• Del.icio.us bookmarking service is a must have for me. Here’s how I use it:

  
  

  1. set up a delicious account.

  
  

  2. install the firefox delicious toolbar and allow it to import your bookmarks from firefox. go to delicious and tag all of your bookmarks according to your own organizational methods. I use tags such as: star, google, tools, reference, torrents, games, employment, comments, etc.

  
  

  3. be sure to add the TAG button to your firefox navigation toolbar

  
  

  4. configure the delicious toolbar to show TAG VIEW and in ‘manage tag view’ choose the tags you would like to appear on your delicious toolbar.

  
  

  5. now each tag will easily display 30 or so bookmarks before you need to scroll and the delicious toolbar will display at least 10 tags, SOOOOO that means you have access to at a minimum 300 bookmarks with one click depending on which tag you click..

  
  

  6. if you love Firefox’s Live Bookmark feature you’ll love its integration into delicious … just save RSS/ATOM feeds of your favorite sites under the deliciouse tag “firefox:rss” and be sure to add that tag to your delicious toolbar … now delicious toolbar is a feed reader!!! .. that’s not all .. if you use Google Reader you’ll love this: make your google reader tags public, go to the public page for each of your google reader tags and save that page’s ATOM FEED as a delicious bookmark tagged as … can you guess? … “firefox:rss” … now your delicous toolbar will display under one tag “firefox:rss” your entire Google Reader compendium!!!!!

• Del.icio.us bookmarking service is a must have for me. Here’s how I use it:

• 7. as other here have noted, you can also used tags within delicious to feed your blog .. tag your favorites as ‘blogroll’ and then use a delicious badge to display a live feed on your website .. or tag your recent website finds as ‘interesting’ and feed that to your blog..

  
  

  8. also, each bookmark can be marked private so that no one else will know that you visit a site … but don’t fear.. the delicious toolbar gives you access to your private bookmarks..

  
  

  There’s more but 1-8 is primarily how I use delicious… got it?

  
  

  Here’s a screenshot of the delicious firefox toolbar in action:
