It often takes me over an hour just to find something vaguely related to what I&apos;m looking for, even if I remember three or four different strings from the page.&lt;p&gt;Especially for things like academic journal articles, if you don&apos;t bookmark it then it&apos;s pretty much gone forever.</text></comment>

Also, the graph aspect of seeing who else bookmarked a page, then what else they&apos;ve bookmarked and tagged, is still a killer feature (if it weren&apos;t so slow) after all these years. Given how rarely I&apos;m the first to add any page, for me Delicious is basically a database of &lt;i&gt;everything interesting on the web&lt;/i&gt;. That just has to be valuable. If only some deep thinkers and hard workers would do something with it.</text></comment>
