Sorry I find the punctuation in the word delicious very difficult. I did create my own delicious account as I had actually heard about delicious and wanted to learn more. I have not however, embraced the social networking side of it and kept the bookmarks and tags private.
It was impressively easy to set up, and delicious imported all my existing bookmarks automatically. How to create tags for the bookmarks took a bit of fiddling but straight forward once you knew how and then I got carried away organising it all. I did look at other users tags and that gave me the idea to tag with hyphens when I wanted two words for a tag, for example family-history. I was finding it rather limiting with only one word tags.
Tagging as a useful tool I'm still uncertain about, but I am a cataloguer and am very comfortable in the controlled vocabulary environment. Tagging is personal and I may tag a bookmark differently to someone else. Variances in spelling was another I saw while looking for example visualisation and visualization, olympic and olympics. But then again it is not as cumbersome as a controlled vocabulary.
On to #15.
