This web challenge exposed me to the site del.icio.us for the first time. I am a big user of my favorites tool bar. The first video brings up a rather good point. Having a favorites saved on a computer is great if you are at home, but what happens when you might need to retrieve something while you are away? If you have a del.icio.us account, it makes it possible to get your saved sites regardless of you location.
I can see this being really useful if you were working as part of a team, or in a situation where you had several staff members utilizing the same online resources. Again this would be a great tool for a school system. Not only does it allow you to share great resources, but it also lets you comment on what makes that site special or unique. If I was writing a paper, I think tagging would be useful in organizing information. Often times you come across something that might not be related to what you are working on, but that might be useful for another project or paper. Using a site like this would make keeping all of the sorting a much easier task. It makes it so that you can take your favorites folders from your computer and bring them wherever you please.
