I’m using del.icio.us for a few weeks now, but there are some changes in my bookmarking habits already:

• I add post to del.icio.us bookmarklet to all computers I use (including adding and then deleting it at Internet cafes!)
• I stopped sending e-mails to myself with links!!!
• I have less “just a link” weblog posts.
• I do not keep many things in my news aggregator just to decide what should I read them, send e-mail to myself or write “just a link” weblog post :)

I definitely like an opportunity to assign tags that emerging with my thinking. For me it works the same way for accessing my bookmarks as liveTopics for accessing my weblog, but with one important difference: it allows both my own and a community views on bookmarks and tags describing them. This is something that could be done by combining functionalities of liveTopics and k-collector in a way that allows switching between personal and community views on weblog content.

I do not know if del.icio.us will scale in time for me. Also I would love to have a better integration of it with my weblog. I’m thinking of using Radio’s multiAuthorWeblogTool to get links posted to my weblog automatically via my del.icio.us RSS feed. This will make them searchable with the rest of my weblog, but still leaves the problem of integrating two sets of topics (liveTopics for weblog posts and del.icio.us tags for bookmarks).

I still hope to find time to write on linkblogs, so this reflection may be a first step…
