Oddly enough, I already had a Delicious account...Caitlin had introduced me to Delicious way back in 2006! I didn't find it useful at that time so I didn't do anything with the account but I was able to remember my old user name and password and access it again (the wonders of technology!).
What intrigued me about Delicious back in 2006 was the ability to access my bookmarks at any library work station, since I was using several different work stations at GB and I was working in various libraries as a casual. What didn't work for me was the "cloud" type structure of the tags since I was used to (and more comfortable with) a hierarchical/linear file structure.
I guess I have become more open-minded over time because I can now definitely see the value of developing my own tags and being able to access to other people's tags - and I'm not so tied to hierarchy! I think I will be using this tool more frequently in the future...
