Thing 10 - Tagging and delicious

Ok, something happened to my Thing 10 and it is not showing up... so here it goes again.
I have been disconnected from the Internet thanks to ATT's incompetence... now on Cox cable hoping to stay on. I have developed serious empathy with those students who use the media center because they don't have internet access at home. After two weeks of interrupted service, I totally understand.
I have never been tempted to use delicious, even though I have visited the site. My Google search skills are good - and I don't bookmark a lot, anyway - so my mind and Google's seem to work well together so it is easy for me to find stuff by typing the right keywords. Delicious doesn't use Google's mathematical algorithms for tagging, so it was hard to find the stuff I wanted ... too many unrelated URLs.
I can see how this could be useful for a group of students researching a topic... some collaborative project online where all the players need to have access to the same information.
