deliciousness and deliciousity

as i mentioned in my previous post, delicious has been something of a mystery to me. as a fairly web-savvy individual (maybe not quite a "web-native" in douglas rushkoff's terms, i was 13 or so when i first started logging on to cybersurf), it's rare to find a website that strikes me as an overwhelming onslaught of information, but there is something about the structure and layout of this website that seems particularly confusing and user-unfriendly. however, after browsing the website -- spending quite a bit of time on its extensive but not terribly well-written help section -- i think i have it figured out.

i spent a little time browsing the cpl's favourite websites, and was quite happy to see that there is now a canadian job metasearch engine (http://www.indeed.ca/), as some time ago i had tried in vain to find one for a customer.

i also glanced over the 'fresh bookmarks' list, which, being a list of the most often- and recently-bookmarked sites, seems to function in a similar manner to digg.com, and found some interesting articles there too.

i feel quite confident that i will be able to comfortably incorporate this into my work at the library.
