Del.icio.us Users Debate Yahoo's Buy
Topics: Yahoo, del.icio.us
Many Del.icio.us users are fretting over the social bookmarking company's acquisition by Yahoo because they fear the Internet giant will alter their beloved service in ways that would make it unappealing to them.

Yahoo thinks Del.icio.us is…..well…delicious
Topics: Opinionslug del.icio.us tag tagging tags yahoo
Yahoo the internet giant recently purchased Del.icio.us for an undisclosed amount of money this Friday. Similar to Yahoo’s recent acquisitions of Flickr, and Upcoming.org Yahoo is trying to generate more mass appeal and the sharing of knowledge and information. This article from Wired News explains the reasoning behind the purchase
During the past year, Yahoo has been adding more tools that promote sharing among friends and family as it battles for web traffic with its biggest rivals — Google, Microsofts MSN and Time Warner’s AOL. All of them are trying to widen their internet audiences so they can make more money from steadily increasing volume of online advertising.
Each of us are in fact 1 of 300,000 current users of Del.icio.us, and I’m sure we will see much growth now that it is part of the Yahoo network. I really hope this takes off. I know that there are so many times, that I wanted to pass a link of to my friends, and if this gain more appeal it would really help me share links. Unfortunately for the owner of Del.icio.us the transaction was “so small that it won’t impact Yahoo’s financials”.

Seems like webpages don’t like adding either.
Topics: del.icio.us
Funny thing. I noticed on del.icio.us that if I post through the post tag on my home page then the count is immediately refreshed. But lately i’ve been using the toolbar tag of “remember this.” I thought it would update the total automatically on my home page but it has stuck at the maximum before my last tagging. Not sure why it hasn’t updated, though not to worry, it has updated to the community engine webpage. I tried refreshing every single time i get to home but it still doesn’t update the total. I wonder what’s going on…

For feature in del.icio.us, any takers?
Topics: Opinionslug del.icio.us
I was updating my del.icio.us today and also looking for the new tech holiday news (ie what to and not to buy) and I noticed a cool feature that has seemed to escape me in the past. The “for” feature allows other people to post del.icio.us bookmarks for you that you might be interested in. If anyone is interested in trying this out, let me know (granted that you know what I like, just kidding).
I think it’s a nifty thing for techie dorks (myself included) that reminds me of a WishList, though it’s completely free and works in the opposite direction (wishlists ask you for what you want and then you send it to potential fillers, while the for option allows you to tag things for others and then see if they liked them). Anyway, as you can see mine is empty right now, let me know if you find anything cool and suggest it for me to look at it. I really liked the site that ShadyWaters found with the cute little drawings on photos.

I like what I find…
Topics: Bookmarks Opinionslug del.icio.us
Welcome to my nightly muse time. As I was perusing people’s bookmarks it dawned on me that Bud doesn’t want us to bookmark other people’s bookmarks which completely makes sense if we are to make this class effective. BUT (there’s always a but) what if I like what other people bookmark? Can I bookmark the bookmark or should I just be old school and bookmark it on the Firefox toolbar(I wanted to see how many times I can write bookmark in one sentence btw.)? Any takers on this philosophy?
