Flick and DELI what are they good for?

Flicker and delicious are both remarkable programs that are set up really nicely but all they really are there for is a loyal following and actual productive user group of say a couple thousand and the rest just use it to use it ... we are a consumer driven society ... we use things because we can not because we need to. No i will not keep using them. They will benefit me none ... i will not gain money from them only a brief respite from boredom or an occasional chuckle. I discovered a couple good web design sites but none of it was stuff i couldn't do in a couple minutes by myself and the pictures were cool that i found but all i can do is just look at them. i cant use them on a site of mine because its not my content. The sites are great but ... if you think about it ... it hasn't really raised your quality or how ever you want to look at it.
