Sorry. We get a lot of email over here and it gets hard to keep track at
times.
 
The the delicious firefox extension dev team will get back shortly,
since this seems reasonable.
 
Additionally, that team has their own list at

[ydn-delicious] use of del.icio.us api

2006-12-14 Thread kikimalibu
Hi,

We have implemented a tagging option in our intranet information
system. We would like to integrate a del.icio.us like tag cloud. I was
wondering if using the del.icio.us would be a good solution, since all
information would be used exclusively in intern, that is to say that
the displayed tags wouldn't be related to number of times all users
tagged it in del.icio.us, but to the number of times it was tagged in
our system.
What do you advise me to do ? And is there any help/examples about how
to use the api ? I could only see this page :
http://del.icio.us/help/api/

Thanks.

2006-12-14 Thread nick.nguyen
Hey Matthew,

I'm the PM working on the firefox extension for del.icio.us.  Sorry
about the delay in responding.  We are working on a solution for this
issue, though it's not exactly as you describe.  We're planning on
providing the ability to retain the original FF bookmarks toolbar and
keeping it alongside the del.icio.us toolbar.  This way you can keep
your livemarks in one and recently bookmarked in the other.  There's a
fairly vigorous debate in the 'delicious-firefox-extension' group if
you'd like to participate. 

Thanks,

Nick

Hi,
You might be able to do this by creating a del.icio.us account to
track tags in your system.  Once you do this you can use the tags/get
API to return counts for the tags for that specific account.

[ydn-delicious] Checking for Missing/404 Links

2006-12-14 Thread Michael
Hey folks..

Have been using del.icio.us for a few weeks now.. Am rather happy with 
things.. Very easy for me to share my bookmarks between FF and IE at 
home and at work. Have just finished importing all of my IE bookamarks, 
and now have to tag them (179 links. This is gonna take awhile.)

Thanks Del folks for the awesome util!

Moving on..

Have a question.. Went through the help pages and didn't see anything 
related to this mentioned..

Does del.icio.us do any sort of checking for 404 pages?

If it doesn't (and I'm betting it doesn't) .. Does anyone know of a 
util/program/browser plugin/anything that does?



Re: [ydn-delicious] Checking for Missing/404 Links

2006-12-14 Thread Michael Feher
I asked about this very thing recently - a feature to ping all your bookmarks
and return a list of dead links which the user might have the option of keeping
or deleting.  Still waiting for the delicious team to hear if they are going to 
roll
this up as part of their next feature set.

P.S. I have over 2,300 bookmarks and yeah, it takes a while to manually validate
them all!

[ydn-delicious] Re: Checking for Missing/404 Links

2006-12-14 Thread nick.nguyen
We talked about this ourselves- one issue is that many people save
private bookmarks to intranet sites which are not visible to our
machines, so these would show up as 'dead'.  Also, most news sites
don't actually return a 404 when an article is taken down, but instead
a pretty error page which is still a valid page.  

So we have thought about the problem but haven't thought of any clear
solutions.  Even if we just checked for 404's, the numerous edge cases
add up to a confusing experience.

Hi all,

As stated in our a href=http://blog.del.icio.us;blog/a today,
we're planning a 2 hour outage at noon PST on Sunday.  The outage is
for implementing performance and stability upgrades, and I just wanted
to give this group the heads up.  While this outage is in effect, you
will not have access to your bookmarks (unless you are using the new
1.3 release of the Firefox extension).  Let me know if you have any
questions.

A mailing list is hard to track and comprehend? FWIW, I prefer the mailing list
