Bookmarking via del.icio.us

Q: 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?

A: del.icous.us is a social bookmarking tool that allows users to store bookmarks-of anything and everything-all in one place accessible online from anywhere!  It can be useful as a research tool for an individual and even as part of a class, because anything you bookmark-articles, blogs, reviews, etc.- can easily be shared with anyone.   Users also have the ability to tag bookmarks, which allows you the freedom to use words that are meaningful to you.  This can be a downfall however because what I might use as a tag for something, may not necessarily be used by someone else.

I can easily see this tool being used collaboratively, as you can create a shared account or create networks to gather and share bookmarks that the entire group can use.
