boo ya

http://toronto.penguinday.ca/tiki-index.php?page=Penguin+Day+Conference+in+Toronto

the first one is an event held in the T-dot about socially responsible techies giving pointers to community groups.

Sounds like something we are all interested in trying here. something ISF could do for it’s next event

(also they are using tikiwiki..)

http://apple.weblogsinc.com/entry/0028248613746782

this one is some article on a little app for organizing delicious via a desktop app (just for mac sorry)

don’t know if that is at all helpful or just another layer of abstraction

the boo ya was the noise of me
“urlslapping” you. what is that anyways it sounds awful.

Yeah I haven’t used del.icio.us really cause… I don’t really do bookmarks anymore… (LAME excuse!) And I built myself that silly link dump of mine, which I don’t use really either.
I intend to dive back into del.icio.us though…

Cocoal.icio.us is merely a client for accessing your delicious account, not for posting.

Gah, you bastard.. now I’M gonna be up playing with it again. ;)

good! because it’s 2am and I’m still f()*&-ing around with it. join me!

mir: good link for the penguin day. going to blog it. . . tomorrow.

I really wish that I had some advice for strategies for using delicious. right now I’m playing around with putting a bunch of tags on each entry. hmm. I’ll get back to it tomorrow.

“My favorite way to use del.icio.us was described a few months back on the del.icio.us discussion list by Luisxto Fernandez. Members of a web community are encouraged to post links with a common tag, and these posts are aggregated onto a page in the web community. This is trivially easy to implement with del.icio.us’ RSS support and contemporary weblog tools.

I liked the idea so much that I’ve started the same technique for a small tech community, where the community linkstream can be read by RSS or a nightly email dump. No aggregating web page is really required, although with just del.icio.us/rss there is not much room for discussion. It looks a bit like metafilter without the comments.

I think this technique will find application in other types of communities as well, and I am hoping to work this into the MSNews portal for the Multiple Sclerosis community as well.”

that’s what I was thinking about. I’ll have to give it a test run with someone. Daniel? ;-)

hi,
http://del.icio.us/MKultra

My favourite use for del.icio.us is to read what others are bookmarking, and sort of “spy” on people. (what are they up to, what other del.icio.us users do they look at, etc etc)

best from Rotterdam,

Here’s my super-duper seekrit del.icio.us / wiki team human routing deployment dream.

1. Get a wiki that can render external rss feeds in its pages.

2. Get your team to mark team-relevant items in del.icio.us using a special tag. Doesn’t have to be the same for everyone.

3. Do feed splicing to merge everyone’s special tag feeds - http://radio.weblogs.com/0110772/2003/09/11.html
(blogdigger groups does it, not sure how well, see e.g. http://groups.blogdigger.com/groups.jsp?id=32)

4. Incorporate the feed into the wiki page. Encourage people to use the rest of the page as an encyclopedia page for recording timeless info about the topic/project in question.

It took me a day (and miriam had to explain it to me) but I get it now. That’s what I was kinda hoping for. I take it that when you say “dream” you mean that I can’t implement it for gamecode next week ;)

A long time ago, I developped a small search engine for my bookmarks when I had accumulated about 10,000 of them, and used it up to about 50,000 links.
Not too long ago, I was using a linklog, then I developped (rewrote, actually) a supybot module to make bookmarks thru irc. I used delicious for a while, but encountered a lot of downtime (503, service unavailable).
Now I’m mostly using furl: http://www.furl.net/members/millette

oh, I forgot… next step is to integrate my bookmarks within the cogitateurs agitateurs wiki found here:

Yeah! The Basque del.icio.us collective trick works… Anyone read Basque? you ask… Well, the things people bookmark are very varied as Sustatu is a general-purpose weblog, not truly specialised in anything (besides being *in Basque* which you may think is quite specialised… for me it’s just my language).

The 3 bookmarks now at the home page of Sustatu are: a blog with pictures from Fallujah, some Basque lessons someone has uploaded somewhere and a chronicle of a visit to a book fair.
