I can't say I have much experience of using either. With regards to Citizendium the issue seems to be that although there may be weaknesses in some aspects of wikipedia, when this is resolved someway with the approach adopted by Citizendium, it breaks the key strengths and therefore, overall becomes less relevant and of interest. The previous article for Activity 1 talks about the enjoyment and fun elements of wikipedia, something which seems to get lost in Citizendiums approach.
As for delicious, I have to be honest and say I have always wondered what it exactly is (as you see the logo regularly on websites) and was interested on how it could make things better or easier for me. I have just watched this video (link is here) and to be honest I am still thinking the same. The features offered are available through other systems I use day to day and although I can appreciate that there is a collection of information, it seems like an additional process I don't really need. Maybe useful for some but I don't personally feel the benefit of using this feature/product/service!
Its useful to review less successful features though as it reminds me of the marketing/sales concept of WIIFM (What's in it for me?), in that you can have the best features and products, but what consumers want to know is how it is going to make their life better and if you can't get that message out then success may be limited.
