Delicious Alternative

The new Delicious really sucks, what kind of bookmarking service are you using now? Any recommendations? Is Diigo a good alternative?

Re: Delicious Alternative

Robert, and others,

Another one of those naïve questions that drive you guys nuts:

Why would I want a book marking service beyond what is provided by my browser? [firefox] Not a rhetorical question.

It's a one-off cost of ~$10 but it's a really clean design that I find easier to use than the old delicious

I've been using trunk.ly. Nothing special that I notice but works as a replacement for how I was using delicious.

In a browser you can store only a small number of bookmarks, and only on one
computer. As Joshua said, if you use multiple computers or multiple browsers
then a social bookmark services is useful. Social bookmark services are
available from any computer, and offer functionalities like tagging. Tags
are useful to find bookmarks and to create taxonomies or folksonomies. You
can also see what other people in your network have bookmarked.

So how many of you use pinboard, and how many use diigo? Hands up, please
:-)

I'm using pinboard, and just added the archive feature that keeps a copy of your bookmarked pages.

Nick: this lets you search your bookmarks, sorta like your own personal google on the pages you've shown interest in the past. Also: the browsers have "plugins" which make it easy to add a widget that quickly add the current page you are looking at to your "cloud" bookmarks. And if you've selected any data on that page, it becomes a "note", also for searching.

And I use Diigo.com, not only because it syncs my bookmarks, but more importantly lets me annotate my bookmarks and, especially, let's me share them with "lists" and "groups" I work with, most of whom have international members. Basically, Nick, the bookmarking tools that come with any of the browsers are like driving a car with only one gear.

Re: Delicious Alternative

Yes, I've been noticing this since the early days, how quickly TB-Ls vision was inverted... the "home page" becoming the external face of the person/institution/product, not the internal view of what is important...

I still see vestiges of the original in early adopters whose personal page(s) read like a set of bookmarks to all the stuff they care about, when if done well is not a bad view for an outsider... not unlike sorting out a new acquaintance by the books in their bookshelf the first time you visit their home/office.

I do not use things like delicio.us myself, but do appreciate those who do (and share it with me). I tend to skip over this one-to-many sharing and seek to get a many-many (several-several?) thing going with setting up wiki pages. Unfortunately, this has not worked out well either. Hmmmm...

But that is the irony of cloud book-marking sites - they essentially provide a home-page in the original sense. The services make it a lot easier to maintain the home-page - although I found HTML 1.0 was easy enough to edit.

I still see vestiges of the original in early adopters whose personal page(s) read like a set of bookmarks to all the stuff they care about, when if done well is not a bad view for an outsider... not unlike sorting out a new acquaintance by the books in their bookshelf the first time you visit their home/office.

The original mechanism was the basis of Google's search engine algorithm. Fortunately for Google, they don't have to rely upon real home-pages since there are so many web-sites with so many web-pages to support the number of in-links, out-links, and clustering coefficient. The Google algorithm has changed a lot, along with the web.

I do not use things like delicio.us myself, but do appreciate those who do (and share it with me). I tend to skip over this one-to-many sharing and seek to get a many-many (several-several?) thing going with setting up wiki pages. Unfortunately, this has not worked out well either. Hmmmm...

My problem with wikis is that they are only approachable through the web. The data is stored in a database and is difficult to extract for anything other than the wiki. Wikis are, in effect, single media systems.
