    Can you see the potential of this tool for research assistance? Or just as an easy way to create bookmarks that can be accessed from anywhere?

I like how so many of the social software tools work together. del.icio.us is a great tool to connect those pieces together, especially the personalized parts.

  • How can your library or media center take advantage of tagging and del.icio.us?

Using del.icio.us, research (projects) can easily be done by multiple librarians. No longer do you need someone to be there to continue on a project. The work becomes more contiguous. This is helpful when employees only work part-time.

It won't replace my browser's bookmark list, though. It's a bit slow and clunky.
