Unlike file sharing, the resources themselves aren't shared, merely bookmarks that reference them.

What is Delicious.com?

Delicious is a Social Bookmarking service, where you can save all your bookmarks online, share them with other people, and see what other people are bookmarking too.

It also means you can see the most popular bookmarks being saved right now across many areas of interest.

In addition, the search and tagging tools help you keep track of your entire bookmark collection and find other people’s bookmarks.
