Cocoal.icio.us: social bookmarks for your desktop
This application falls squarely into the ‘Coolest Thing Since
Sliced Bread’ category: a Mac OS X client for interfacing with your del.icio.us link
collection on your desktop.
If you don’t already have a del.icio.us account, run, don’t walk, over to
del.icio.us and get yourself an entirely free one. It solves the problem of keeping
your bookmark collection organized enough to actually be useful. Plus, it makes your bookmarks entirely
browser-independent, without the need to import or sync between applications. As if that weren’t enough, it enables you
to share your bookmark collection publicly, and subscribe to other folks’ collections of bookmarks you find
interesting.
Cocoal.icio.us is a freeware GUI interface into the web-based
del.icio.us software, developed by Buzz Andersen of
Sci-Fi Hi-Fi. The interface will look familiar to users of the RSS reader
NetNewsWire, with a list of link categories in the left pane, a list of
links in each category at the top right, and a preview pane which loads the actual URL, which is fantastic because you
don’t even need to leave the application to view the page you’ve bookmarked.
For anyone in despair about the sorry state of their disorganized bookmark collection, look no further than the
winning combination of del.icio.us and
Cocoal.icio.us to get you back on track.

I'm quite keen on Cocoa.licio.us too, but since I use Quicksilver (http://quicksilver.blacktree.com/) a lot, I found running delicious2Safari (http://tuxtina.de/software/) which grabs all your del.icio.us bookmarks and sticks them in Safari in folders according to tag, where they're indexed by Quicksilver, a much better way of accessing my del.icio.us links without visiting the site. (The only downside being that there's no option to schedule delicious2safari to grab links every day.)
