Well I jumped into Delicious as Betty instructed. First I found a wonderful list of salad recipes from the New York Times, but decided that with the cool summer we are having I should not bookmark salads.
What I did bookmark are The New Yorker magazine [http://www.newyorker.com/] and Art & Letters Daily [http://www.aldaily.com/]. These are existing favourites of mine -- particularly the latter, which can prove to be just as significant waster of time as YouTube (if you like reading).
Through Delicious I also discover two previously unknown sites I wanted to bookmark. The first is makeuseof.com [http://www.makeuseof.com/] which has a wide variety of articles on software etc. The second appealed to my love of the slightly weird; it is BoingBoing [http://www.boingboing.net/]. Maybe everyone knows about this site except me.
The tags I connected to the bookmarks included "diversion" and "fun" for BoingBoing, "web2.0" and "tips" for Makeuseof, "culture" for Arts & Letters Daily and the New Yorker.
Yes I will continue to use Delicious. I think it will take a while for me to understand all the possibilities offered by the site.
