I started to set up an account with this tool but (breaking the rules) I did this exercise from home and wanted to go through the button setup phase on my work machine rather than my home machine. Some of these programs only let you do a setup in one place. So it is best to do the setup in the place where it will be most needed.
Anyway, this is a tool that I SERIOUSLY LIKE.
Is this why:
"Or just as an easy way to create bookmarks that can be accessed from anywhere?"
To a point, you bet! Having all your bookmarks at your fingertips is a little bit more than "just an easy way...." For instance, this tool gives you an easy way to get a new computer without risking the loss of all your bookmarks in the process of switching machines.
More important from the Howard County Library standpoint, each information desk in the system has a collection of bookmarks - relatively few of which are shared. Not only are they not shared from branch to branch. It can be iffy that they will even be shared by information desk machines that sit two feet away from each other. del.icio.us gives us a WONDERFUL way of making sure that all the nifty stuff a branch manager (or other august personage) wants his/her staff to have at their fingertips will actually be at their fingertips.
