I am in the process of convincing my fellow co-workers to try out del.icio.us as a way to track their own research and compile news hits and webpages that discuss our clients. I have found in principle they think it is great idea and they see the value in it, but in practice they stick with saving bookmarks in their browser. Another barrier to entry... the concept and practice of tagging information. I've began to conduct weekly all staff training sessions on social media and del.icio.us is a tool I am determined they will learn and use.

I LOVE using del.icio.us for the purposes mentioned in this article. You are totally right and it's an excellent way to keep track of information for all kinds of purposes. My clients have noticed some results when I've created a del.icio.us page for press and media purposes. It's free and it's simple and it works. Great find.

i love del.icio.us
it works very good.

for the tagging laziness problem, i'd say,
get the del.icio.us extension for FF or any other browser if exist,
this way the whole account is working from the browser and any bookmark will be saved online to the account.
