I’m tired of waiting for del.icio.us 2.0, and there’s no sign that my other gripes have been fixed in this perpetually upcoming version anyway (I prefer commas for tag separation. Multi-word tags FTW). So I’m testing out a Ma.gnolia account for my social bookmarking needs. I bookmark everything in social bookmarking services these days as I thoroughly enjoy reveling in indecision as to which browser I feel like setting as a default.
With a little tweaking of Pukka, I’m up and running with my new Ma.gnolia account. One of Pukka’s best features (for both Ma.gnolia and del.icio.us): a menu bar item that acts like a universal bookmark menu. This makes it really easy to switch my default browser should the need (or urge) ever arise, as bookmarks from Pukka’s agnostic menu obey the default browser setting.
So come add me as a contact on Ma.gnolia and show me your best ‘marks.

I know del.icio.us goes through brief outages from time to time, but it’s 12:20 AM and it’s been down since about 2 PM earlier this afternoon with nothing more than:
“del.icio.us is down for maintenance. we’ll be back in one hour.”
Here’s hoping they didn’t botch a jump to Yahoo’s servers.

So Yahoo bought del.icio.us, even though they were working on their own social bookmarking service by the name of MyWeb 2.0. The first thing that popped into my mind is: who stays and who goes? Based on the ideals of social bookmarking, del.icio.us is a lot friendlier to work with. Their url scheme is incredibly simple, as del.icio.us/dcharti are my ‘marks, and any tags underneath that work like del.icio.us/dcharti/tag. MyWeb 2.0’s url scheme becomes a bunch of useless gobbly gook that is neither useful nor pleasurable to look at.
Here’s hoping Yahoo makes the right decision and reassigns their MyWeb 2.0 coders to better tasks.
