Delicious

Delicious (formerly del.icio.us) started out as a kind of Flickr for bookmarks (it's no coincidence; Flickr and Delicious are both owned by Yahoo!) but is now more useful as a search-engine hack. You filter Delicious' tags to drill down to the type of content you're searching for. For example, if you enter "search" and "hack" and, to narrow the myriad results, "popular," you get a page of promising leads, including Googlism.com (which is the only way you should search for your own name, ever).
