So I had a look at delicious and decided to install it on my home computer - next day I booted up and voila! all personal data gone! Whoo-hoo! Restored it to a checkpoint before the delicious load and it was fine. It might have been a coincidence but I'm not going there again. I have all the bookmarks I want, anyway, and why would I want to share them?
Seriously, I can see the value of having controlled public tagging and bookmarking within a school, a library or other organization, but has anyone actually done any research into whether it's any better, or faster, or easier, than systems that already exist? Sites such as Facebook, youtube, and bebo already provide widespread invasion of privacy and accompanying bullying. Just because the stuff is there, does it make it good?
Oh, had a look at technorati, too, but explorer crashed before I'd done anything much.
