Well, I've joined the del.icio.us website. The link is http://del.icio.us/abcdetc I haven't tagged many websites yet, as I would have to spend a lot of time on the website to be sufficiently comfortable with it.
From looking at the more developed networks, I can see the benefits. While it is too big a task to catalogue websites, by having this informal folksonomy one gets many of the same benefits. I can see the potential benefits for research. When one website has been found, it is easy to look at other people's networks and tags and therefore find related websites. While I would use this type of searching for things like comics, I wouldn't want to do formal literature reviews through this type of folksonomy.
