Del.icio.us could be a very useful site to have if you use multiple computers or browsers as it is like having a roaming profile and saves you having to transfer bookmarks. The tagging aspect of things is great for categorising links and helping to discover other similar sites you may not be able to stumble across on your own. It is a way of taking some of the harder part of research away by letting others who have already done the searching help out.
Library Thing could be very useful in discovering similar books by genre in a one stop shop. It can be used both in a personal sense and professionally for readers advisory questions such as 'who writes like...'. Sometimes it is hard to find out about authors without searching multiple sites, will look more in depth later when I have some time.
