But that is the irony of cloud book-marking sites - they essentially provide a home-page in the original sense. The services make it a lot easier to maintain the home-page - although I found HTML 1.0 was easy enough to edit. > I still see vestiges of the original in early adopters whose personal > page(s) read like a set of bookmarks to all the stuff they care about, when > if done well is not a bad view for an outsider... not unlike sorting out a > new acquaintance by the books in their bookshelf the first time you visit > their home/office. The original mechanism was the basis of Google's search engine algorithm. Fortunately for Google, they don't have to rely upon real home-pages since there are so many web-sites with so many web-pages to support the number of in-links, out-links, and clustering coefficient. The Google algorithm has changed a lot, along with the web. > I do not use things like delicio.us myself, but do appreciate those who do > (and share it with me).

My problem with wikis is that they are only approachable through the web. The data is stored in a database and is difficult to extract for anything other than the wiki. Wikis are, in effect, single media systems.
