Twitter, though it acts like a social network is actually a "microblogging" platform. Delicious is it's own type of platform called social bookmarking, and is used less for building community than for research, bookmarking (actually saving those sites you like to an online bookmarking site) and passive sharing (anyone can look at your public bookmarks or add you to a network but it's not a platform for real two-way conversation). As a private professional, I think that Delicious would be a great tool for research (looking up tags about a certain subject, company or person that you want to know more about) and for keeping an online checklist of those URLs with information that you want to have available at your fingertips at all times. I often use Delicious as the latter - when I see an article I will want to reference at some later point, I bookmark and tag it and know that I can come back to it at any later point. Online social bookmarking frees you up from the computer so that you can access your bookmarks when meeting with a colleague, client or when you are away from your computer. I hope that this helps you understand why Delicious has a different use than the Linkedin, Twitter and Facebook. It all comes down to what you want to do with any type of medium. If I haven't answered your question, let me know and Iwill try to respond differently. I also hope that others reading these comments can contribute their thoughts as well!

As it is, I hardly have time to do justice to these other social networking media!! Hi,

I remember from our discussion on LInkedin that you use it for stakeholder sharing, but I wasn't aware of how you use it for internal sharing. Thanks for pointing out the email-from-at-time-of-bookmarking option for internal sharing. This is a great solution to the internal adoption issue, and I'm so glad you pointed out both the potential adoption issue and a possible solution that addresses this issue specifically.
