At the end of the day, del.icio.us isn’t about storing URLs, it’s about finding new things on the web that you wouldn’t have found otherwise, using common ways of thinking to identify peers that you want to share with. In other words, you might be interested in other things that someone else tags the same way. The point is to share and gather from a wide group of people also surfing. (this is a horrible explanation, but it’s the best I can do at 2:15 AM)

Well, Yahoo unveiled My Web 2.0, their social bookmarking service that combines some features that only a Yahoo or Google could pull together. It looks less useful to me than del.icio.us, but I think that’s because the target use is different than the del.icio.us case. I thought I would point it out, though, in case any of you end up liking it better than del.icio.us. It has APIs, too, so there’s something else to play around with.
