My link to Del.icio.us is:

What a brilliant site. On my first search the infamous Cupcake blog came up featuring a Wasabi White Chocolate Cupcake with Plum Sake Filling. Not sure if I would want to try this one, but it caught my attention.
Checking out the site further, I discovered wordle – a toy used for generating ‘word clouds’ from text that we provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. Clouds can be tweaked with different fonts, layouts and colour schemes. The images created with Wordle can be used however you like – to print them out, save them to the Wordle gallery or share with friends.
Again, having the option of RSS feeds makes it easy to stay up to date, with the abundance of data being uploaded.
Del.icio.us provides the opportunity for further applications within libraries. For a small rural library such as Manilla, it removes the remoteness and isolation for the community. In this vast land, bookmark sites such as Del.icio.us means that everyone is on the same page (or at least have access to the same).
