This might not be the sort of thing the post is meaning to discuss, but so many people have been pointing out about Delicious lagging. So, I have a suggestion that might help with that.
You know when people prompt crossovers? Say, Leverage/Supernatural? And the bookmark gets tagged lonely!SPN/Leverage - I'd say do away with that. Giving every possible crossover its own tag means way too many tags. How about just tagging it lonely!SPN lonely!Leverage lonely!Crossover. Then that's using tags that already exist instead of making a new one just for the crossover.
One of the cool things about Delicious is it lets you combine tags, so people looking specifically for Leverage/Supernatural crossovers could just plug in "lonely!Leverage" and "lonely!Supernatural" in the "Type a tag" field at the top. Or "lonely!Leverage" and "lonely!Crossover" if they wanted all Leverage crossover prompts - the cool thing about that would be that "related tags" would bring up a list of all the fandoms Leverage has been crossed over with in the prompts, so people could skim down for fandoms they know and add that to their search to see what's been prompted.
I mean, right there, that would get rid of >2000 tags, and might really help with the lagging. We couldn't use the Crossovers bundle anymore, but that hasn't worked for me for months anyway.
I know this would be a lot of work for the codemonkeys, but... well, as a codemonkey myself, I'd be happy to do some/lots/all of it. :) It might necessitate a Delicious tutorial, like someone up there suggested, but overall I think it would work better.

Just throwing it out there, anyway!
