  2. Sohail, I don’t use the same browser all the time. I switch regularly; home, work, IE, Firefox, Netscape 4 (there’s a Firefox bug under X11 that happens to affect me that it doesn’t have). And using del.icio.us instead of browser bookmarks means I don’t have to make sure to copy over my bookmarks every time. Plus, I’ve found that tagging makes it much easier to find a given link again, once it’s stored; browser bookmarks don’t have that option.

  4. guys

    ive seen del.icio.us and ive used it.
    i need to ask u users something.

    would you guys prefer to save your bookmarks on del.icio.us or rather use a service that lets u tag and save bookmarks in your browsers ‘bookmark’ window as well as on a del.icio.us like website for later usage.

    ive always found it more convenient to access my bookmarks in my browser window.
    why even visit del.icio.us and waste time.

    let me know ur thoughts.

  13. now you don’t have to sign to del.icio.us to have a personal online bookmark,
    what you only need is a pop3 account and bookmarkMail.
    to add a bookmark you can send yourself an email with URL as a subject,
    and you can fill the email body with the description.
    and to see the result you can see it with bookmarkMail here,
    and if you want to set up for your own server click here

    some screenshot
    1. send yourself an email

    2. see your sent email in outlook(mail client)

    3. login to bookmarkMail

    4. see the bookmark

  33. It’d be lovely if you’d add my little project to the big list. It’s called skin.del.icio.us, and it provides an alternate color scheme & graphic for the del.icio.us interface in Firefox. Your extensive list, being as it is, del.icio.us central, would be that much more complete, and people’s del.icio.us experience, that much more cusomized…

    Thanks!

  43. Anyone know of a good and currently functioning tool that simplifies posting for people with more than one del.icio.us account?

    I have my own personal account, but for a collaborative project I have a separate account that I share with a group of contributors.

    Right now, when I hit the del.icio.us bookmarklet, I find I’m often in the wrong account, and I need to log out and log back in manually via the del.icio.us site. It’s a pain.

    What I’d love would be a bookmarklet that would first ask me to pick an account from a menu, and then let me post the bookmark like normal.

    Suggestions?
