http://del.icio.us/ - A social bookmarking web site… if you don’t use it, try it out… You can see all of my “favorites” at http://del.icio.us/rjmartino.
Does anyone use twitter.com?
I use Twitter… journeyguy.
I have never gotten into the social bookmarking scene, though I have an account with a couple. I rarely use or update. I just can’t imagine anyone having the time to care about what I’ve bookmarked…
For me del.icio.us is more about being able to access my favorites from anywhere… its also a great way to be able to access your favorites from any computer…
As for people actually searching through my favorites, I don’t know/care if people do… but as people add more favorite sites, it becomes a useful search engine. Take for instance “CSS templates”using google, you get a crowed list of salespeople… while using del.icio.us, you can see the number of people that tagged “CSS templates” as a favorite and therefore, those are actual CSS templates… Not someone wanting to sell you something.
I love the idea of an application that gets “smarter as you use it.” Thats a whole other topic but google works like that, del.icio.us, facebook, and all other successful web applications…
I did use del.icio.us for a little bit. But I think I kept forgetting to update it. I got lazy, in a nutshell.
If you’re using Firefox, you could always try google browsersync. It lets you sync bookmarks in Firefox across multiple computers.

I’d probably use Twitter if I knew more people who use it…as of right now, though, I’m Twitterless.
