Delicious offers tons of value in terms of business intelligence.

These extra goodies make it easy for you to come up with creative ways to maximize Delicious for your business needs.
Official tools worth testing are the "Bookmark this on Delicious" buttons to give your blog readers one-click means to save your posts, and the Delicious Application for Facebook, which is perfect for showcasing your bookmarking behaviors to your business friends and fans.
You're likely to find the best Delicious treats from third-party developers. For quick access to your Delicious account, try the Delicious Sidebar.
