Del.icio.us
Lately I have been getting into del.icio.us. (If you know about it already, forgive this introduction) It's a new "social bookmarking" site. Apparently a clever programmer came up with an idea for a web engine that does two very cool things:
a) keeps all your favorite web bookmarks saved online on your del.icio.us page, and
b) shares the bookmarks with everyone on the web.
At first, I didn't get what was so cool about this, but I registered anyway (it's free) and started entering my favorite sites. You do this via a "bookmarklet" a button you drag onto your web browser and can enter in new sites with one click. You give each new bookmark a tag (a category) or two, and on the main del.icio.us page, anyone viewing can see your new entry.
Check out the main del.icio.us page....
Those links are the very latest ones from ALL del.icio.us users. At the moment, the links lean toward the tech-savvy type, but I have been finding some really good ones there. Since it is a real-time reflection of what all the users are into, it can be anything.
So here is my del.icio.us page. I will be adding my favorite bookmarks to it, if you want to keep up on what I am checking out online. There is also extensive RSS feed support.
Feel free to join up - it's not much to look at, but it's a pretty great example of some innovative experimental web programming with tons of potential, depending on what we make of it!

Hey Steve.
Awesome little hack: you can use PithHelmet, a safari extension to change the look of del.icio.us. here's the how-to from Hicks Design.
hope all is well, young man.

Thanks for the tip on RSS feeds, we could really use the help over at LE. Once again, you are the man with his finger on the pulse...
