As someone who uses favourites all the time on my own PC, I think that it is a fantastic idea to have the ability to bookmark your fave sites and be able to look at them from any computer with access to the internet.
I also think that the social networking factor that has been incorporated into this tool is a great idea.
- There is great potential for this tool in aiding the reference librarians at the information desk, especially with regard to the social networking capabilities of the tool. Libraries could pool their knowledge and the sites that they find and link them to their delicious accounts. - I really liked the way that Cleveland Public Library have organised the links on their site.
- It could also aid the librarians in selection and acquisitions departments across different libraries to share the websites that they have found for particular online selection aids and the websites of book sellers and publishers.

P.s. Way better than favourites!

I'm glad you're discovering new things and thinking of some great applications for them in the library.
Keep on having fun!
