I probably shouldn't pass this along because it's one of those, "Beware! this will cause time to evaporte." Del.icio.us has a feature called the inbox which I believe is reasonably new because I don't remember seeing it when i first signed up. Anyways, it lets you subscribe to feeds of links essentially providing an aggregated inbox of links for you to browse. This is insanely valuable for discovering blogs when you combine it with firefox's live bookmarks feature.
here's what you do ...
Go to the del.icio.us homepage and click the "blog" filter/tag link on the right. That will show the most recent XXX links posted with the tag "blog". Then at the top under the title you'll see the link "subscribe" ... click it and you are now subscribed to the "blog" tag. Now go back to your del.icio.us page and click the link in the upper right hand navbar that says "inbox". This is your aggregated view of all your del.icio.us subscriptions. Now just click the little orange button in the very bottom right hand corner of your firefox browser and "subscribe to rss". Choose wherever you want to file this in your bookmarks and you're done.
The live bookmark will update periodically by grabbing the latest batch of links from your del.icio.us inbox and make them available right in your browser. You now have the latest blogs posted on del.icio.us delivered directly into your browser!
Repeat with any user/tag combinations you like to get a great variety of links in your inbox.
Note that if you don't want to flood your inbox with too many links, but you still want to have access to them you can always just create a live bookmark from pretty much any page on del.icio.us rather than subscribing. i.e. go to del.icio.us/blog and create a live bookmark.
