We're in good company w/ the whole del.icio.us tagging malarkey... I wonder if this means that we'll find all sorts of well, er... news on the del.icio.us frontpage instead of the usual geekery?
Prety cool. BlogHerald points out that the NY Times has teamed up with Furl. Perhaps this is a giant step into the mainstream for these services? I'd be interested to see how many new accts are created, & how much the bookmarking options are used by existing acct holders...Washingtonpost.com last week announced the launch of a partnership with De.licio.us. The deal allows us to offer tagging capabilities on all articles on the site. The service launched on February 23.
By taking advantage of this partnership, washingtonpost.com readers will now be able to save articles into del.icio.us's central database, which allows for easy retrieval for reading at a later date or for you to share your favorite articles with other readers.

No doubt, the Washington Post would not be unhappy that those links point to the Washington Post. Here's an example of how it looks on their site (just under their technorati box):

Here's how it could look in your sidebar:

OK, so that example is not much more exciting than grabbing an RSS feed ... but when you start adding other tags like sports, business etc then we could have a collaboratively filtered newspaper.
