For those who don't know, Del.icio.us is the actual URL for a "social bookmarking" website. With an account, you can essentially store all your Favorites online. What's great about this site and its kind, is that you can tag your entries and search them accordingly. You also have the ability to see how many other Del.icio.us users have tagged a given site, navigate to their bookmarks and hopefully discover something new or useful. With a couple of browser addons you can tag and access Del.icio.us with a single click.
I'll admit we were already using a Del.icio.us account before I attended the conference. But we were only sharing links among reference staff. What I took away was the use of this service during a reference interview. As we find sites that will be useful for a patron we can tag them with the patron's name. Then they can view that custom link list directly via Del.icio.us or we could email them our results.
