Symbaloo (vs. Delicious)

My Symbaloo WebMix

While I like the idea of a dashboard of favorites you can retrieve from any Internet-accessible computer, I can see that this graphical dashboard has some limitations - a tile for a website works well. A tile that is a 'folder' composite is less useful.

Delicious has the benefit of 'growing' your favorite links, since you can use other people's bookmarks as a way of keeping up with what's new that other net users are discovering in 'real time'.

If I were looking for links to grow my own PLN, Delicious would be an exceptionally great resource. It provides suggested tags as well as showing me what the website/webpage looks like.
