Surely if I say del.icio.us is gonna be a bigger repository to find information than google, than even I would say, I am just being big mouth, But looks like this is going to be true very soon, though indeed not really many people have yet started using delicious to dig those reliable information that too real fast.
Here are the five reasons which strongly make me believe above
Reason #1: Google crawls the webpages and index information by robotically determining the type of webpage and try somehow associating it with certain keywords, Yeah real process might be a zillion times more complex, but this is the summary for we layman's, while in delicious user saves there link, no crawler(avoid contents which no=ones cares about)
Reason #2: Google determine type of page by robotic means and than associate somehow those pages with certain keywords, while in case of delicious, those google robots are being replaced by real humans and they are tagging the pages and giving description to those pages, so later one is going to be far far more accurate than automated ones, bcz of obvious reasons; Also in google case link exchange and dozens of industries are being evolved which helps you to increase your google rating as it is easy to fool robots, but in case of delicious input comes from user, so delicious can put a simple robo checks by image and make it real fool proof system(to some extend)
Reason #3: Out of indexed results, google uses a dam good algo(reason behind its success) to find out which link should be shown in what sequence, on top being the best match, but in case of delicious, they can really use a simple algo, out of indexed results, simply put the pages first which are favorites of more number of users
Reason #4: Delcious can show more current search results as with the speed things evolve on net(e.g. web2.0 site meebo) and other things are evolving, any site/link/page can become a big resource in a day, but it might take some good weeks for google to recognize and put that particular match as first result, while in delicious it can be instant hit as we all know how mouth of word publicity works and with that favorites will change so automatically that new link will comes on top if they use algo on number of favorites, and this comes without any delay, so you always get best related results.
Reason #5: Delicious is more logical approach to organize data, instead of robots organizing data by guesses, while in case of delicious it don't only solves the bookmarks problem, but indirectly it is hitting more important problem by making real humans organizing the data over web.
Now only point delicious misses is that they don't give any real way to find there repository, so you have to be savy user and need to guess tags and search using that, I believe this the right time they should have generic search now, where entered keyword will be searched across link, description as well as tag and shown the resultls, Yes, this is not the delicious main business is, but they need to understand that information they are storing is grown massive and it is the right time people really start getting benefitted by it.
Note: Because of obvious reasons delicious will not be able to help for every search on planet and in last they both have to share the same eco, As algo google uses still remain useful as some people really don't know what exactly they are looking for, or for some cases where you don't expect anyone to have that link in there favorite, for instance if you want to know details of API Image::GetThumbnailImage than best way will be google it, but say if you are looking for some resources for some certification, say scea, most suggested approach should be http://del.icio.us/tag/scea and you will get far more better resources than google can give you in a shot.
