Week 8: Delicious Librarything

I tried to add delicious as a gadget to my blog... but it says it is broken, so until I achieve a higher geek status, I will stick with the old-fashioned link

http://delicious.com/

Can I see the potential of this tool (Delicious)for research assistance?

This tool definitely has applications for research, in that it displays thought and subject associations that might not have occurred to the researcher previously. It has the potential to broaden things too much, and I think that just needs to be kept in mind by the person using the tool.

Or is it just an easy way to create bookmarks that can be accessed from anywhere?

The only criticism I have so far, is that I can't attach it to my blog, or put it on my igoogle home page.
