Delicious really shines as a group-bookmarks site, a place for multiple people to save bookmarks to the same account.
This is how the majority of fandoms newsletters gather the links to create their newsletters. There is a program created by murkins that converts the delicious links into the newletter. If I gather links daily, I can create the sshp_prophet in 5 minutes using the program. Without it, it takes a good 3-4 hours.
Also, I've found it less useful than snarryficfind or my flist for HP recs. But in fandoms like Reboot, Merlin, Inception, SPN, Sherlock and others, I can do a quick search and find the most bookmarked fics to help me sort through to the (arguably) best fics that fandom has to offer. That way, I'm not as tied to the whims of a single reccer. It's not always the case that the most bookmarked is the best, but it's happened often enough that I prefer it to a random rec on my flist.
