I checked out the LibraryThing listing on del.icio.us, which was saved by 13,430 people. Maybe the vast number of people who decided to save this site is an indicator of the usefulness of the site? I clicked on another site on the Ihcpl account which was just an individual blog saved by only one person, so maybe so. I wouldn't want to spend much, if any time, on the comments, especially when they number in the thousands! Tags could prove useful, if you were looking for similar sites.
Del.icio.us could certainly prove useful in research in being able to save useful sites that can be accessed from any computer and finding potential other sites through other people's tags.
