I think that Del.icio.us is one of the most useful Web 2.0 tools. It facilitates:

- saving and accesing your bookmarks online

- promoting your own sites (you bookmark in Del.icio.us your best pages, don’t you?)

- finding bookmarks from other users on your network (they are searching for relevant sites for you)

- networking with other users who are inyour network.

- reading your network’s bookmarks, since Del.icio.us provides convenient RSS feeds.

- use a “profile” tag, such as emapey’s bookmarks tagged with
“profile” on del.icio.us to feature your sites, best posts and articles

and important sites linking to you.
