Well, yesterday I (once again?) walked again from del.icio.us and imported all my bookmarks into Ma.gnolia after all the trouble I had with the the del.icio.us API. The exact reasons should be quite obvious from my last post so I won't really elaborate on them here anymore. Just one thing: If you have rules for your service, really only temp. ban people from it when they obviously act against these rules.

Temporarily banned from del.icio.us API?
Ok, yesterday I wrote about a story I found about strange Yahoo! customer care treatment. Today I wanted to delete a couple of posts from my del.icio.us account. Because it was quite a bunch of posts (622 or something like that) I wrote a small script to get this job done.

Yahoo! customer care tearing down del.icio.us?
Pfu, if Yahoo! customer care is really that useless as at appears to be in this story on shorty114.net, then I guess it's really just a matter of time before great projects like del.icio.us will lose a bunch of community support.
Read more about "Yahoo! customer care tearing down del.icio.us?" ...The feature that you are describing is not available at this time in Yahoo! del.icio.us. Imported bookmarks currently have to be edited individually to make them public.

Funny license sections. Today? The del.icio.us Firefox extension
For the last couple of days I'm now using Del.icou.us exclusively for managing my bookmarks thanks to the new and improved Del.icio.us extension directly by Yahoo! which is available on the Firefox Add-ons page. For now I'm quite happy with it since I only had a handful of bookmarks outside of Del.icio.us anyway ;-)

Ma.gnolia -> del.icio.us
ByeBye Ma.gnolia. It was a good start but that's all it was for me. I've now gone back to del.icio.us for my daily social bookmarking. For my taste the interface on Ma.gnolia is simply too cramped with adverticing and meta information which makes the whole site way too slow for normal use. Also the post-form's tag-autocompletion is in my opinion hardly usable.
So now I'm back with the service that started it all and all I'm really missing is the group-feature which I wanted to use but no one wanted to join me ;) OK, for example the ruby-group is nice, but you can do the same thing with tags.
So yesterday I wrote a small script to first of all give me a list of all the bookmarks that I had in my Ma.gnolia repository but that were missing on del.icio.us. I won't post the script here for now because I guess it was quite close to the terms of use for the del.icio.us API. I throttled it down to one call every 2 seconds but anyway :)
So I will just post some problems I came across that are all basically difference between the export file of del.icio.us and the one of Ma.gnolia.

Spurl vs. Del.icio.us No.1
Being a user of both systems it was just a matter of time before I write an article comparing these two services based esp. on features that are important to me. This also comes as some kind of written dilemma report ... what should I use constantly? :-( But first I should probably specify what I'm expecting for a social bookmarking service:
- Tagging support
- A way to publish bookmarks in an ordered manner so that other people can easily browser through your bookmarks ( at least the public ones )
- tag based searching
- free

"Daily links" by del.icio.us
I'm currently experimenting a little bit with the linkfeed service of del.icio.us that I've found thanks to Daniela Hoffmann. If I understand it correctly, this service will post through XMLRPC a list of new links every day. Let's see if this really works out :-)
