RE: delicious
1. Access to your bookmarks anywhere on ANY computer? Priceless.
2. Share web info with friends (who also need to be on delicious) in an instant - no need to send an email? Priceless.
3. Find that link for that "random item I totally need" again? Answer - tags in delicious. Priceless.
4. Info junkie? Delicious is the solution.

How can you not love delicious?
I have only been using it for 5 or 6 mos. now but love it.
Hope that gives you another perspective!

errrrr ... so, the blinding insight here is that "users" begot "communities"; and that "use" begot "users" ...... Josh gets the uber-prize for stating the obvious

I suggest to wait until next week when we'll finally release our software that will allow to generate content meeting all three points above! Happy New Year! PS pls check zdnetasia.com/specialreport....

Gabe,

I like the way you've grouped these services, and I can also see the possibility that these groups could overlap. For instance, you could post a link to your latest blog entry on del.icio.us to promote your site.

As for abuse of these services, I've been (jokingly) calling it abuser generated content. But I'm sure someone will think up a catchy name.

Services based on user-generated content can, I think, be grouped into three categories:

1) The selfish service as described by Josh Porter - people generate content because it's useful to them (i.e., del.icio.us, flickr, myspace). This is the predominant template.

2) The unselfish service - people generate content out of a pure sharing impulse. Wikipidea works on this principle. This structure only works if there is a truly massive user base. The ratio of contributors to read-only users of Wikipidea is, I would bet, well below one percent.

3) The nakedly selfish service - people generate content to promote their personal brand or to earn money (squidoo).

All three can work, and all are vulnerable in different ways to splog(?) abuse [Note - I think we need a new term for user-generated content abuse - slug?]
