del.isio.us de.ligh.tf.ul de.love.ly

I've looked at del.isio.us (or however it will be punctuated in future).

It's useful in that I am able to 'take' my bookmarks or favourites with me. i can log in an use it at any time. i also like the whole cloud tag thing.

what mystifies me on occasion is the social aspect of it: 'this site was bookmarked by 78 people' etc. i'm not sure whether i want to know that or not. which 78 people were they, if i look at their bookmarks, it's no guaranteed that i'll like any of the sites they go to. it's a matter of my taste and opinion. some people i'll agree with and with others, i won't. the same thing happens if i look on amazon.com where they have the people who bought this book also bought this other book... sometimes the other book turns out to be better and other times, it's a real fizzer. same goes with library thing too.
sometimes it all seems too public for me. (though here i am stating my opinion, as i am on the whole blog!)

del.isio.us turns into another way of browsing the internet.
