Some del.icio.us ideas
Bleeding Edge has become increasingly fascinated by the del.icio.us social bookmarking phenomenon, and its potential as an aid to information gathering
Take a look, for instance, at the way the teenage entrepreneur Ben Casnocha uses it on his blog. We've found a lot of stuff we're interested in, simply by clicking on the topics.
Is it possible that there might be a commercial market for these individual collections of bookmarks?

I agree, del.icio.us is quite fascinating.
I only found the site only a few weeks ago and have been using it to keep track of the many sites I find that I like. At the moment I have little time to look at what others are posting, but for me it's a great way of ordering my sites and allowing me to keep them in the one place so that no matter what browser I'm using (I have Opera, Firefox and IE6 - on Linux) I can easily find them.
Additionally, no matter where I am or whose computer I'm using, I can always access the sites I'm interested in, without having to remember the URL for all of them.
I'm hoping to make more use of the site and it's resources in the future. For now, my use is quite basic by general standards.

I like some of the stuff like maintaining a Blog roll with them and doing post of new items that you add (although I should do more adding to get a post a day really (see my blog if you want an example).

I have been eating up del.icio.us since October from what I can see and I find it an extremly useful tool to store my bookmarks, favorites and searches aswell as RSS supricriptions to a few tags that I like to follow information on what is happening.

An interesting read today on 'Tag Clouds' can be read on Jeffery Zeldman's site"

I prefer newsvine.com - a little more complex than delicious.
