De.li.cios ... well, I've opened my account and added some links, but I really think the site likes Firefox better, 'cause you can do more stuff. However, I can see this would be way more useful than having my bookmarks at work, then my bookmarks on two different computers at home, not to mention when I'm over at a friend's house on their computer! My only caveat is that what happens if the Web goes Poof? (This is a deep down anxiety of mine, fueled by apocalyptic media like "What If It Happened Tomorrow?" on the Weather Channel.) My anxiety is only partially alleviated by the fact that the Internet was built to work during a ballistic missle attack by the Soviet Union. However, then there's the whole other electricity conundrum - since my batteries only last 3 hours. (Quick time out while I look for solar powered computers, which of course, will not work during nuclear winter ... sigh.)
I've been using the tags of other people's accounts, however, so that I can look for their favorite stuff that might be like my favorite stuff. Someday I may find everything I want to know, but it won't happen any too soon. My favorite thing in my own account is the list of suggested tags, which let's me use what's left of my brain for other things than thinking up what to tag things.
Checking out hcpl's de.li.cios page led me to some sites I hadn't known about, but most of it is familiar from my own reference bookmark list, i.e. Librarian's Guide to the Internet, etc. But I was pleased to find a bibliography generator for my brother who is in agony over APA cited sources for his bibliographies!
