Delicious, a social bookmarking sight is like many great things both simple and complex. At the simple level it is like Googledocs for "Favourites". This in itself is not to be underestimated as a feature. If you do not have access to your own PC, say if you are on holiday, Delicious can allow you to keep up with your favourite sites (if you are not RSS feeding them) without having to remember, write down or google the URLs. A time saver we can all agree.
As you dig deeper however, you find more. By tagging your favourites, you can see who else on delicious has also tagged that site and also what else they have tagged it as and what other sites they have tagged with the same words. This can lead to wonderful discoveries of similiar sites you may not have previously encountered but you wish you had, or if you are simply cruising the web to play six degrees of separation and see where the other tags take you.
Mmm, delicious.
