Del.icio.us networks

Easy to construct, and useful to see what another trusted Delicious user has decided is important enough to bookmark. The only danger of course is that the sites and information content can expand exponentially! I liked the ability to RSS feed from a particular tag on a site

Del.icio.us

I can see that the ability to access bookmarks anywhere is a useful tool, but I was more interested in tagging to open up routes to unknown sites. It's not perfect without controlled vocabulary, but is near enough to gather a good armful of useful leads. A search for the tag 'Lake District' brought back an interesting selection, but it would be neater if Delicious gathered together identical sites rather than listing them separately.

Gratifyingly, a shot in the dark with 'St. Hugh's' as a tag brought back the biography of one of the first women to read mathematics in the university.
