When you sign up for a delicious social bookmarking account your bookmarks page comes with an XML feed. If you have a website content management system that is capable of taking that XML feed and inserting them into your website (Joomla, mambo, Drupal, maybe WordPress) then adding a link to multiple websites isn’t as easy as adding it to your delicious favorites.
If your website is not capable of inserting XML feeds into your website you can use an application called news2Web. It runs on your desktop and can do the following: download XML feeds, convert them to HTML files, and upload them to your Web host. Once the HTML file is on your Web host you can link to it directly or include it in another page.
Delicious also offers separate XML feeds based on the tags you use to define your bookmarks. For example you could tag all links associated with Seattle, Washington with the tag Washington. The XML feed for Washington would only contain links that had been tagged with Washington. A great way to categorize and filter your links.
Say you are a webmaster and you manage 30 websites. You have just completed a new website and would like to link to this new website from the other 30 websites. Using the delicious method all you would need to do is add the new website to your favorites and the link would automatically appear on the other 30 websites instantaneously.

Sounds like a great system doesn’t. But that doesn’t mean it will be a snap to set up each of my websites to work with the XML feed. I would estimate about 10 hours of work. This could easily pay for itself if you are selling links or link development for search engine optimization.
