Yeah I know, I’m late to the del.icio.us party.
When I started using Google Reader I found the ‘Starred’ and ”Shared’ lists a great way to save or republish interesting links. Those starred items soon mount up though, and because there’s no way to categorize them you soon amass a large unsortable and unsearchable collection of links.
The ‘Shared Items’ list is also a great feature. Subscribe to the shared item feeds of a couple of good bloggers, such as Robert Scoble, and and your interesting-items-to-feeds ratio shoots up. Using JavaScript you can even embed your shared item list into your webpage to be shared with visitors.
However, after a while I found an increasing desire to save and share links that I was finding outside of Google Reader, and in some cases to add a line or two of commentary.
Enter del.icio.us.
