The tagging and ability to access from anywhere made it more useful than browser bookmarks for keeping track of web resources. However, it is particularly bad for web archiving, because the web is not a static place. For example, del.icio.us links the New York Times articles break, unless you remember to link to the permalink. Even then, you are banking on the resource remaining available online.

A better approach for me is to go to the print view, select all, and then clip the article to Evernote. This keeps an actual copy of the article, along with the original link location. I can tag, search by content, and even share the item too. Evernote is really filling the void that local content management systems could not, and it is replacing my use of social bookmarking as well.
