#13 Delicious or not?

I was thinking maybe not so delicious. I had been looking forward to this exercise - bookmarks I could access from anywhere instead of sending them to all to my hotmail address and having to trawl through to find them, but I was initially disappointed and somewhat confused.
It did not seem not user friendly, maybe if I had looked at the PCML example first as suggested it would have been better but I assumed I understood the principle behind it. So my first mistake was to rush in and import all the bookmarks from my desktop at work.
Suddenly I had 10 pages of uncategorised bookmarks! I couldn't see how to delete them en masse so I had to delete my whole account.
Feeling really out of the loop I looked to vampgirl for guidance. I began to see what you might do with the concept of tags and bundles and then carefully imported some bookmarks folder by folder. By the second folder I realised it was sensible to change the "Imported" tag before importing.
It is still possible I am missing some crucial point of elucidation because the only way I can get it to work effectively for me is to give the tags the same name as the bundles - my tags.
I think I will find it very useful but only if used in a disciplined way. For me the 2 basic rules will be: only use it for sites that I will use when mobile, and tag each bookmark in an organised fashion. (Well, I used to be a cataloguer.)
I'm not convinced of the usefulness of the the networking angle so maybe I'll explore that when more time.
And I think it's possible we could use Delicious to enhance our reference work, if we put some work into creating an rationalised bundle.
I've added my Delicious links to my page on the right. I also added it to my Facebook profile but it doesn't show up there so it seems a bit pointless. In fact Facebook generally seems a bit pointless to me but more of that later.
