Bumped into this just now: Turn Delicious bookmarks into recommendations with InSuggest.

Here’s why it’s interesting: “if you’ve got an account [at delicious] you can plug-in your user name and it will scan over what you’ve bookmarked, offering similar items by tag and link associations”, or, you can point it at another user’s account, and get suggestions based on what they’re bookmarking.

I’m not a heavy delicious user, but I know a few people who are, so for me this seems like the thing to do. I can leverage their interests (and effort) and use them as jumping points when exploring a topic. Then, if I find something I think they’ll like, I can let them know about it by doing a little dance in the link hive.

Or something like that. I just wanted to say “link hive”.
