I’ve been pursuing a rather different strategy on my site “del.icio.us WebCites” (http://thecommunityengine.com/webcites). Basically, I post the bookmark to del.icio.us using the extended description attribute which will let me insert my commentary about the site up to around a paragraph. Then, I reimport the bookmarks into my weblog using reBlog (http://www.reblog.org). As part of that process, movabletype, my blogging software, tracks back to the sites I am commenting on and pings technorati. I have an appropriate set of technorati formatted links with each post, so my notes about the site also get entered under the appropriate tag in technorati.

There is value to me at least in the notes I am taking on each site. I made del.icio.us bookmarks to see if I could share that value effectively. It is still a work in progress. Any remarks would be appreciated. Ultimately, I will release my MT templates that get this all done.

Like Bud, I have my own little system which I use to download links to my PDA for offline reading. I like Bud’s idea about the pinging though.

Also I like your idea about using del.icio.us to power the “related reading” section of your posts. I might use that idea too

cheers, Richard
