BV Insight - Why is this company interesting?
Del.icio.us powers a brand new way of personal information management and discovery called social bookmarking. The keywords or "tags", which individual users assign to their links contribute to a large database of metadata. As opposed to traditional search engines which determine search results on the number of page links, Del.icio.us users are able to leverage the work of the community to find out what is popular or insightful.
