I really like delicious for saving my bookmarks and have about 4,000 sites bookmarked there. Recently I wrote about how to create a delicious bookmarks page – mine is limited to sites that I tag with WordPress.
I also use quite a few delicious rss feeds; on particular tags, my network, and on what’s popular.
The feed this week isn’t for a site but is rather the rss feed for what’s popular on delicious. When I’m looking for ideas or sites that haven’t heard of before, I go through this feed. Sites currently in my feed are a hot dog halloween costume for dogs (do people really dress their dogs up for Halloween?), 50 favorite words from the BBC (did you know that Mallemaroking is the carousing of seamen in icebound ships – that comes up a lot), and usernamecheck, which allows you to check the availability of your username on almost 70 sites.
I picked some silly ones to list here but there are a lot of fun, useful and bizarre links in the popular delicious rss feed.

I love the del.icio.us popular section, it’s a great place to find the cream of articles on any subject.
Don’t forget that you can create an RSS feed of any search in del.icio.us and by using the advanced search facilities you can get some pretty fancy searches going on. The search has improved a lot with the launch of del.icio.us 2.0.

Hi Andy,
I created feeds for a number of searches but I don’t think I’ve used the advanced search feature. I’m going to have to try that out.
Thanks!
That usernamecheck site has given me the bug to sign up for more social sites. I’ll be busy! :)

Hi Kristi – I always use the same username so that site basically told me where I had accounts and where I didn’t :-)
I don’t think I can handle signing up for any more accounts right now.
It is true that some of my blogging ideas are originated from the delicious popular section.

Hi Suzette – If you haven’t used delicious you really should try it out. People are bookmarking a lot of useful, interesting and funny sites.
