#13 Delirious Del.icio.us?

I have had a look at Del.ciou.us and understand the concept of being able to share favourite links within the same subject area. Del.ciou.us extends the concept and offers links to related links and comments by the users of the links.

However, I am not convinced that Del.icio.us is the right tool to use on the information desk. I believe Del.icio.us could very easily accumulate an information overload. Furthermore, tagging is another issue. It is left up to the individual to decide how to categorise a website or article so if used and shared by an organisation certain standardizations should be put in place. Suddenly Del.icio.us doesn't seem that appealing to me.
