Yeah, I know. Everyone is in love with Digg.com these days.
But, as I told several people last night at the very well attended Third Monday event in Ottawa (See Shel, Joe, and Brandon (Updated: And Bob) for the skinny), I’m a huge fan of del.icio.us.
I’m a classic example of “The Del.icio.us Lesson” in action. I use it because I can, selfishly, store the results of my digital haul as I go. I can spend an hour doing surfing research, click-and-storing as I go, and them coming back later in a more organized way to find what I want.
This is neat, but it is not the biggest value.
The most value comes from using Del.icio.us/popular to find what some guys I worked with once called “The Edge of the Web.”
Everyone who there who claims that they are monitoring the web for innovations should make sure they check this site daily for new ideas, new memes, new companies, and new satire.
Where else can you find:
- Sites challenging the business model of television - Peekvid & Daily Episodes
- How to find the perfect mate
- A new social networking site with some quick buzz.
- Maps of war
- and so on…
Del.icio.us/popular is part of my daily routine and helps me to find the most interesting stuff before it hits most people’s radar.

Hey! What about me! I got the skinny — and, if you go to my entry, you also get the skin. Must be seen. Cheers, B.
