Del.icio.us titbits

It was interesting to see how the National Library of Australia is using Del.icio.us to improve its AskNow service. I imagine clients feel some sense of reassurance that the bookmarked pages contain reliable and authoritative information. I was pleased to see that http:\\del.icio.us \usefulresources was accessible by anyone and not just a tool for Librarians. The maintenance of the site is of course done by Librarians ensuring the integrity of the information. I wonder if the NLA is able to generate statistics on the number of hits a del.icio.us bookmarked tag generates? If so, this information could be used to improve or expand bookmarked resources in a particular subject area.
