Not to self-advertise, but I used to work as an employment counselor, and I'm trying to use Delicious to compile the largest resource of job sites for folks looking for work. Check me out at readrightresume. Hey y’all:

If that's confusing, or if you'd rather uninstall the Delicious add-on completely, here are the instructions: A. To uninstall the Internet Explorer buttons, go to Add or Remove Programs and uninstall "Delicious Add-on for Internet Explorer". B. To uninstall the Firefox add-on, go to Tools → Add-ons and click the "uninstall" button for the Delicious Bookmarks add-on.

After struggling for a long time with a solution for my research, bookmarks and rss, I recently moved all my bookmarks ( some 2700 ) to Delicious. I like the design simplicity and web UI, the excellent add-on for firefox and the RSS and REST interfaces. However, I think Delicious could easily provide a much better tool for the so-called 'semantic web', only by proposing a tag naming convention and trying to convince users to adopt it. Maybe even a users group could be assembled for promoting this convention, which would be always not-mandatory. I'd involve myself in such a project ... Of course, some distinction could be provided for tags included in a central thesaurus or not. And some form of conversion from these to those could be automatically programmed with appropriate algorithms. This could be the very next step to Wikipedia in making a huge world-wide knowledge-base. And a excellent starting point for the next-generation search engines ( Yahoo will appreciate !). Last, but not the least, I have one more suggestion: Delicious deserves a much better search tool for the power-users, and I believe direc.tor is on the right track ... DRY ... buy them, debug, improve and that's it ! Thanks, Britta, and congratulations for the excellent work done up to now.
