Hi, I'm very interested to get started using del.icio.us in combination with Firefox. Looks like a great way of synching bookmarks at home and at work, and the flat hierarchy approach seems to be an efficient way of organizing bookmarks.
But yes, I still have some questions that I hope somebody can answer. I've skimmed through the mailing list archives, but have not found answers yet. (i) What if I'm offline? I've got a permanent internet connection, but it's not rare that it drops out every once in a while. Is there a possibility of having a local copy of my del.icio.us content? Maybe some Firefox extension can do this? (ii) The flat hierarchy looks attractive, but is scary at the same time... I've grown quite used to my folder hierarchy of bookmarks. Is this a situation where you just have to make a radical switch for once and always? I guess my main problem is: will I still have a complete bookmarks overview in my browser, in an equally accessible interface as the traditional one? (iii) What is a good approach at composing an efficient collection of tag words? If I start adding every keyword that pops up in mind for my bookmarks, I guess I'll quickly end up having a big number of keywords that are only used once, and which are impossible to remember anyways... Thanks for any advice, Arnout _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.del.icio.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
