Chris accidentally pasted the wrong link.  The del.icio.us review is here:

It's interesting that mainstream PC users, as represented by PC Mag
reviewers, find del.icio.us "confusing" and "a cluttered mess" in
comparison with other competitors.

Even with the most minimal design and limited feature set, del.icio.us
appears to have a posting rate that's orders of magnitude higher than
any other competitors.  (I haven't measured this myself).

One conclusion that might be drawn from this is that if the real value
of social bookmarking is the wisdom of the crowd, then the size of the
crowd is more important than the graphic design--even the interface
design.

Also, it's pretty clear that social bookmarking is a frontier
inhabited mostly by early adopters.  Who knows what might tip things
in th other direction?
