Social bookmarking is kind of a cool concept. I use to just achieve carefully selected1 links, into carefully organized folders. I probably averaged about one bookmarked page every few weeks.
But now, Delicious has actually changed my pattern of behavior while surfing. I’ve been actively seeking out pages I don’t have time to read in order to save them for later. It’s given a sort of purpose to link-hopping because I’m directing pages into my future, to read when I have time or to share with friends.It's a good tool.
And it's also been interesting to look at how my tag cloud has grown and changed over time. And the idea that I'm slowly indexing the internet, tag by tag, is kind of cool.
Anyways, you can see what I've been up to here:

1Very carefully selected. If you tried to save everything that was remotely interesting before, you'd end up with folders and folders of scrolling links in your browser's bookmarks menu. Very inefficient.
