I have recently signed up, added a few friends, and am trying to add interesting, useful sites before I add my own (which I'll do when I'm finished with my first set of tutorials). My sense is that it may be wise to make some of the more "popular" del.icio.us members my friends, but for now I've stuck solely to people who are related to my industry. What do other people think? Any good tips out there? All the best, Anyone have any tips on how to best use del.icio.us to help promote one’s websites? I have recently signed up, added a few friends, and am trying to

Bah. I was afraid of that! ;) “I think what people want is fresh content”.

I have done something of the same thing on my site. I don't actually create a feed from that site called "tasty" but I have done ad libs on various issues and then have the reader click on the article to read more...somewhat like eWeek. It's never been popular and aside from some of my quirky remarks it was never really informative as well. I think what people want it fresh content. It's definitely harder to do on a daily basis, especially, when you are the only content giver, but, it's the only thing that people want...aside from some camaraderie that this group has definitely displayed! :) By the way, that is a compliment! OK, I will say something!

A victory of common sense over technology. I was startuing to get infuriated over link posts and I told Antony Mayfield so when he tried it. I struggle to keep up with my 85 RSS feeds. To then have my reading multplied by more links was driving me potty. Rant over. Thanks. Hooray! A victory of common sense over technology.

This blog (and yours, and Stuart's, and others I respect) is a publication of sorts. It says "web 2.0, blogs and social media" at the top of the page, not "interesting stuff I found while I was surfing". That’s a great point, Simon.

I kept automatically publishing links that were usefulto me, but of little relevance to a marketing and PR audience. I had to keep manually deleting the automatic posts. I figured I wouldn't blog those topics so the links weren't valuable content for my audience. I did the same recently.
