Del.icio.us and other social bookmarking sites provide a new way to form connections and associations with people and their interests. It can allow a given person the opportunity to link with people according to common interests (and their associated websites) and to monitor those links as they expand with new information. If someone has an interest in a given author or genre, for instance, then one can bookmark websites relating to those authors and genres and build on those associations over time. This could be invaluable for librarians and those who do research as the ability to network with others grows over time and new connections are made.
