As far as Delicious is concerned...I'm not a huge fan.
I use Pinterest on a regular basis and I find this to be similar to what we are discussing here. I do like "pinning" and use it regularly to share likes/dislikes with family and keep track of what other teachers are doing in SPED classrooms all around the country.
These social bookmarking and tagging sites are useful for teachers the same way that RSS feeds are because it allows to you to simplify sharing information.
Granted, this is set up more for social sharing of information more than a professional use but social websites tend to be more popular and can lead to more professional sources of information. Plus, the best information that you can get as a teacher typically comes from professionals already in the field sharing their knowledge and previous failures and successes.
