How I Use del.icio.us
When I'm looking for something new to read without getting up off my ass, I go to the main page and look at the most-recently posted links.
I got an account, out of curiosity; once in a while, I'll link something in the hopes that it gets pushed up a little higher on the Popular page.
It's fun and all to see what people are linking to, but really, I don't see why people think it's such a big deal. See also: flickr, tags, the wretched word "folksonomy" (OK, I understand some new things need new words, but jesus CHRIST people, can you at least put 10 minutes of thought into it?), podcasting, RSS, and blogging. I have a web site, you have a web site, we all have them and can link to each other. Swell!
I suppose having been up to my nose (I used to be an information architect) in the smugly breathless mid-90s web rush, I'm a little jaded. A little. I guess it's nice that people feel excited about something.
