Why it's useful

Your bookmarks are available, the same way, from any browser.

Many other sites do that, but few are as fast and innovative as del.icio.us - they already have bundles, a system for tagging tags.

Why it's revolutionary

Social bookmarking brings non-hierarchical ways of organizing things to the masses - even if they don't use del.icio.us itself, the service has given a lot of momentum to the idea. ChandLer should help too. The biggest difference between del.icio.us tags and aliases/shortcuts is in thinking, and it shows in the resulting interface. So far, del.icio.us is building an interface which is spare and yet crammed with tools for looking at the ever-growing ocean of links in the database.

http://technorati.com/ implemented tagging in December 2004, and that got the blogosphere buzzing about the whole thing in a higher gear. Of course there's http://flickr.com/ too for photos, and many other bookmarking and other services using tagging. I want it in my file system.

The mailing list - http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/delicious-discuss

At the bottom of every wiki page, i want to see a feed of the links tagged with all (and/or any?) of the words in the page name. Could do two feeds, one of your own links, one of the whole communities' links.

I could do this with the API and the Python wiki. Hmm...

A page of services that expand on del.icio.us - http://pchere.blogspot.com/2005/02/absolutely-delicious-complete-tool.html (there's an open API which makes this easy). Some that caught my eye so far:

http://rentzsch.com/notes/backingUpDelicious - How to back up your links, although it turns out all you need is http://del.icio.us/api/posts/all

http://gre.gario.us/ - Who links like you? This was hitting the server too hard so it's down now, but Joshua Schacter (the del.icio.us dude) plans to implement something like this as soon as he has the hardware to handle it.

http://kevan.org/extispicious - All(? most?) of your tags spread randomly around a page, sized proportional to the number of links you've tagged.

http://philwilson.org/foaflicious/ - FOAF file from your inbox

http://delicious-py.berlios.de/ - PythonLanguage code for using the del.icio.us API

There's also a bunch of posting services with extra features; the best bits are being rolled into del.icio.us directly.

From the comments:

http://www.ntnu.no/~engmark/delicious/?and_tags=delicious - enables additional logic searches, e.g. links tagged with one of several different tags, or tagged with one tag but not another tag, etc.
