one of the appealing things about del.icio.us is that it's slightly opaque. i'm always finding, with suprise and pleasure, new pages, views, ways of using del.icio.us.
if someone is marketing a product, they spell out all the product's virtues up front. with communities, on the other hand, participants learn by acculturation - the more you participate, the more you understand. i like the fact that del.icio.us is a community not a product. if you did want to put more information on the "about" page, i'd suggest tips for new users on finding other users with common interests. for example, use the search function to look up topics that interest you; see what tags other users apply to the sites you like; then start using those tags for your own posts; and check out the other users who've tagged the same page (i know this is obvious to readers of this listserve but maybe not so obvious to new del.icio.us users). links to some of the more interesting user-developed tools might also be welcome. __________________________________ Yahoo!
