This week was the toughest so far, for me. Could be all the other stuff going on that has prevented me from getting to a total understanding of Del.icio.us and Technorati. Could be I just don't see the benefit to me personally of tagging.
I like the thought of carrying my Favourites with me. Since I take care what I add to my Favourites, I like to know all my work can be more efficient by setting them up and organizing them once. As for the tagging aspect I'm not sure it's as helpful to me. Most searches bring way too many results to effectively wade through. If I was seeking out infomation it could be helpful but right now I'm already on overload with all the data I receive on a daily basis - newspapers, feeds, listservs, email...
Technorati was another so-so activity for me. I'm not a blog reader so I don't find a need to go looking for more. I prefer those found through referrals from blogs I'm already reading rather than seeking out the random opinions found through a blog search.
While many of the tools we've discovered allow me to organize and make better use of the information I currently receive, these tools that help to seek out more information are useful to know about but will not be put to immediate use and blog type info. isn't generally what I'm looking for. I generally look for a more established information source such as a manufacturer's or organisation's website where the information is more likely to be credible.
