Just wondering who in the Appropedia community and in the Open Sustainability Network uses social bookmarking (Delicious.com or similar)? Or do you often look at development and sustainability websites, but haven't yet got into the bookmarking thing?

This is one sector of social media where Appropedia doesn't have an active presence, so I'm thinking about how to address it. I'm spending plenty of time on Twitter and Identica, and since I often have a slow connection... (the Delicious bookmarklet makes it much faster if you have a really fast connection or are patient with computers, but I fit neither category.)

This is prompted by coming across Focuss - "a collaborative research tool for global development cooperation", based around social bookmarking. Regardless of how useful Focuss is, it would be good for us to have more of a presence in social bookmarking.

I do use, but rarely. I'm at http://delicious.com/swampfunk
but for big projects, I just pull all my relevant links into an e-mail
and archive it so I can search later (in gmail). Also have tried
using worldcat.org to make notes on books etc. for projects.
Not active in social bookmarking either way, but do recognize its
uses..
