Delicious is a good tool for keeping track of useful websites, we use the CPL Best Websites frequently at the 3rd floor reference desk. There are may ways to make Delicious work, the options may be a little daunting, I personally feel the most important factor is if the chosen sites are tagged and titled appropriately. In terms of applying that for personal use there are a lot of options about how you organize the information, which should leave you free to choose the one that works best for you.
Being a visual person i have found Delicious harder to get used to that i expected, and was not initially aware that the main search option is for Delicious in its entirety, not necessarily for the CPLs collection of links. Searching by tag is also cumulative, so if you don't find anything by tag you need to remove it before you type a new search option in. Because I use it often I am now much more comfortable with it and can usually find what i am looking for quickly.
