delicious-library-icon.pngI was going to talk about Delicious Monster today, but John Siracusa did it better than I ever could. He notes the amazing attention to detail and care that went into this application, but also notes:

"You do not need this product. In fact, this product, if purchased, will undoubtedly absorb time that could be more productively spent doing something else. Shortly thereafter, you may simply get bored and never use it again. You have been warned."
I think the most interesting nugget in John's review is his observation that something like Delicious Library could become an essential application if movies, games and TV continue to move away from physical packaging in favor of digital downloads.
