Delicious Review (Social Bookmarking)

**In an effort to make this a more useful blog, I am paring posts down to the essentials. What this means is that I am going to focus more on providing a recommendation, quick summary, and things I like/dislike**

I recommend this service for finding out new trends and keeping your bookmarks backed up online, but not as a bookmark replacement system.

Quick Summary

"Delicious bookmarks is a social bookmarking service, which means you can save all your bookmarks online, share them with other people, and see what other people are bookmarking." - Delicious Site

In addition, Delicious can show you bookmark trends by displaying the most popular bookmarks in many areas of interest. They also have a search and tagging tool that helps you keep track of your entire bookmark collection.
My understanding of the service is that beyond its basic online backup, delicious is essentially providing a social search function. What I mean by this is that it is search intelligence created by humans. Google uses an algorithm to create its index, delicious uses humans. This means that delicious is creating a contextual search service that has the potential to be more accurate than google can be, providing you with more relevant information.
This service is owned by Yahoo, so you have to use a yahoo ID to join/sign in

Things I Like

• Cloud bookmarks.
• Find websites that are applicable to your needs using their social search.
• Search your bookmarks fast. Find similar bookmarks on their site that have been added by others.
• Way to backup bookmarks online (but not sync).
• Easy to find things you are looking for. 

Things I Don't Like

• You cannot sync bookmarks between computers, only access them through Delicious's website. It requires you to be completely tied to their web interface. You can import bookmarks that already exist in your browser, but they will not be synced if you change anything. 
• It's not an entire replacement for the way that you have your bookmarks on your browser, but rather is more of a discovery tool for finding similar sites to ones that you have bookmarked.
