Check out metafandom's delicious. Or the Trek Reboot Kink Meme. Delicious really shines as a group-bookmarks site, a place for multiple people to save bookmarks to the same account. scans_daily and 50books_poc both starting using it as a way to tag posts when they went past LJ & DW's tag limits.
It also works as a site-wide finder for multiple tags: you can look for a set of tags like NC-17 clex, and seeing how many people have added that link (the number on the right) tells you something about how popular that story is.
Many authors & reccers have all their fic linked there, going back many years on a bunch of different sites, and if Del goes away (I hear maybe it's not going away, just no longer going to be part of Yahoo), those stories will have no central finding point.
But mainly, the issue is that many thousand people use Delicious nearly constantly; if it vanishes, it'll drastically disrupt their web use.
