Ahhh, social bookmarking. You are delicious and wild.
Oh god, I didn't mean to make that pun. I'm sorry.
Anyway, social bookmarking has never been something I've been terribly into simply because, y'know, I have a bookmark folder in Firefox (and Safari, now. Whee, Mac!). But for KRL, social bookmarking could be a nifty tool.
In particular, I'm thinking of a service where patrons could tag a book in a database, and other users could search via tags for whatever interests them. It'd work better than subject searches, which can be a tad vague and and arbitrary in my experience.
You can view the sites I tagged for today at del.icio.us/barcodemissing (I should add that link to the blog, actually...), but to be honest all of them are just sites I visit semi-regularly, and my tastes are, well, a bit out of the ordinary. Sumo is just about the only sport I follow (I'd follow cricket if the dang TV would freakin' show it over here), I read science blogs like popcorn (now there's a metaphor that just doesn't fly), and I'm using PortableApps version of Firefox to post this very blog entry because I can't stand Internet Explorer.
But hey, someone might find it interesting. That's kinda the point, innit?

There are other ways to keep up with cricket, Erol. Read an online Indian or South African newspaper.
