Finally, I am back with Delicious.
I have to say it is not user friendly to me. I have got so many troubles trying to sign in. I was first asked "Do you have a Yahoo! account?". Yes, I do. "Sign in with your Yahoo! ID". OK. I did. Then there is the option "Choose a link your Delicious account". I chose to Link my existing Delicious account to my Yu Ning account (I considered it as my Yahoo! account). Then I was asked to sign in again. Whatever I put in, I was alerted with Invalid username/password. OK. Then. I won't use this Delicious anyway in my future, even though I thought I could learned it better if I did some real play with it.
The funny thing is that during my troubles to sign in, I swithed back and forth with Delicious's webpages and I got to know a bit more about its Tags and Bookmarks. So, if I am able to be signed in some day, I believe I could play Deliciously.

Just found a piece of interesting information about the content of tweets :
Based market research firm Pear Analytics analyzed 2,000 tweets (originating from the US and in English) over a 2-week period in August 2009 from 11:00a to 5:00p (CST) and separated them into six categories:
Pointeless babble – 41%
Conversational – 38%
Pass-along value – 9%
Self-promotion – 6%
Spam – 4%
News – 4%
Social networking researcher Danah Boyd responded to the Pear Analytics survey by arguing that what the Pear researchers labelled "pointless babble" is better characterized as "peripheral awareness" or "social grooming"
It should not be shocked to see the rates above. Like other networkings, many people use Twitter to babble and gossip and many people use it as a conversitional tool. I think then Twitter loses its advantages if the rates keep at this way. Except the Internet, Twitter messages can be received with other devices, such as SMS, and Twitter was designed as information networking instead of social networking. These are all the unique features which Twitter has and people should have better uses on.

LibraryThing
I think LibraryThing is very user-friendly. I like "Zeitgeist" and some groups in "Group", such as "What are you reading now".

Flickr & YouTube
It is good to know Flickr, I am just not sure if I would use it.
I like YouTube. One feature I like very much is that when I find the video I have searched and other related videos displayed as well. Those videos are all linked, like the linked websites, so users could go wild and have no way to come back to the videos that they are firstly interested.
