I can't really see much of an application for either of these tools for our organization. Both are interesting ideas but seem to have more personal applications than business applications.
Del.icio.us could be used to share relevant articles that all of our staff should be reading, but it seems like we would just be using it for the sake of using it since our current system of forwarding links to articles is working for us. On a personal level I can see using it to have pages that are currently saved in my 'Favourites' list accessible from multiple office computers and at home.
Technorati could be used to see what people are blogging about United Way, whether it is good or bad, but time limitations would restrict how often we would actually do it. It could help us tailor our messaging to the perceptions of the public.

It's true that not all of these tools are useful in every organization. The Del.icio.us tool is perhaps more geared towards organizations where patrons/ outsiders use their computers to find information, or if members of the organization share computers/ move between computers more often.
