delicious use?

I've seen some fans say that these days they primarily use delicious to find fanfic to read rather than following fic comms or watching archives directly. I also do that when I search for specific stuff and look for tags, but I don't really use the social network functions. Every now and then I try adding someone, especially if a rec comm also keeps track of their recs on delicious, but somehow I never really stick with it. (And only part of the reason is that delicious often tends to crash or freeze my browser if I view it with javascript enabled, which I suspect is because it can't deal well with my large number of tags or something. It's really quite pathetic -- ~4900 tags is not that many.)

So do any of you use delicious' network feature? Which people (or comm accounts) do you follow to find new fanfic? Currently I'm particularly interested in ST:AOS (though TOS also to some degree), SGA (*clutches*), Merlin, Supernatural (non-Wincest, non-RPS only), and Numb3rs, but as I'm really multifannish and fickle in my interests I'd be interested in what you follow for other fandoms too. Do you have any recs whom I should follow there?

ETA: And please feel free to point out your own account if it fits what I'm looking for.

You!

i use you :)

I have a bunch of people in my SGA and my SPN subscription that I found (though I should update) and it tends to get me what I want more or less....

I only just started using Delicious to keep track of stuff for my own purposes--mostly Transformers fic, I don't think you're interested, though it's at caiaslinks--and I have dabbled with searching for stuff over there, but didn't realize you even could subscribe. Huh. *goes to check that stuff out*

Just passing through for SG-1 Debrief and thought I'd mention that I do use it, particularly as a supplement to what I find on LJ/DW, mostly via feeds. I wiped all my bookmarks and started over in March with a fairly simple tagging scheme and it's worked for me - I'm pretty happy to be back up to 805 bookmarks since they're almost all tagged and have descriptions. :)

That time period has covered my entire AOS obsession (344 Bookmarks, although there's some TOS mixed in).

As far as other accounts go - first and foremost would be Fandom Directory, which associates LJs with Delicious accounts and lists what fandoms they're involved with. Second is one I've discovered just recently: PollyRepeated's bookmarks for AOS/TOS.
