alexpgpAs a supporter of FOSS, I have a soft spot in my heart for the de.lirio.us site, as it is an open source clone providing largely the same functionality (if not a superset) as the del.icio.us site. I've got to say, however, that after playing with both sites, so far my preference is for del.icio.us.
I'd be lying if I didn't mention that a large part of this has to do with the fact that de.lirio.us currently appears to be "hung" in the sense that no new posts have appeared since late yesterday (at 19:32 in what I am assuming is EDT). In and of itself, this wouldn't be bad, except that attempts to add bookmarklets appear to succeed, but are not reflected either in the site's root feed or in one's personal list of links, which promotes the use of bad language when you go to check your list of links after having added - or tried to add - a half dozen new links before going back to refresh one's personal list.
Besides this, though, I've found it easier to navigate del.icio.us and to control searches using keywords.
I've not come to any definitive conclusion or preference, though I'm not sure those concepts really means much in this context. (What would really be significant around now, however, would be a desire to fall asleep, but I'm probably obsessing at this point.)
Cheers...
