Consuming Web Services

I'm late to the party but after my recent laptop misery I've finally decided to get into the whole web services thing, namely Bloglines and del.icio.us. EVERYONE else seems to have been into these for ages but I had such an enormous collection of links in my Firefox and feeds in my aggregator that I decided that it wasn't worth it. I still have a backup of all that stuff but now I can't be bothered to restore them so I'm starting afresh.

So far, I absolutely love both services. I can keep myself synchronised between home and work, check what's happening in the blogosphere when I'm visiting my folks and share either set of links with other people via personalised pages. It's that last one that is the killer for me right now. Want to know what blogs I read? No problem, just check out my bloglines page... How can I get my ageing links page up to date? Hook up the RSS feed to my del.icio.us page! For the first time I can reuse my connections into the virtual world and that could be very very interesting in the future...
