Daily del.icio.us Linkdumping
Well, we’ll see how sucktastic this turns out to be: I’m leveraging del.icio.us’s ability to pass along your links via XML-RPC to your XML-RPC-aware logware of choice—mine being WordPress—to push my del.icio.us links here. I guess this means I should start putting more commentary in my links. :sigh:
First dump should happen at 2300 local tonight. Here goes nothin’! [Oh, and it's thanks to this HOWTO on dumping your del.icio.us links into WordPress, which is missing one key component: in Step 3, you'll find the Experimental section only if you're editing your settings. Well-written HOWTOs are, indeed, hard-to-find---mainly because they're hard-to-do!]
Brendon over at Slacker Manager has been doing this, but isn’t a huge fan.
January 21st, 2006 at 11:50Yeah, Brendon is actually where I picked up on it first. I’m already anticipating the complaints I’ll have about it…
January 21st, 2006 at 11:55I’ve been thinking about incorporating my del.icio.us bookmarks in an ‘asides’ sort of way, as well. Except that I don’t want to use the asides technique, and I don’t want to use the del.icio.us xmlrpc api. I’ll probably just use the RSS feed, and a cron job.
January 23rd, 2006 at 10:55There’s lots of ways to handle it, of course. This just required the least amount of work for me to do, and so I’m happy to let someone else do the heavy lifting.

Alex wrote me an email while I was off at hockey—yep, another defeat of those pesky Beavers; thanks for the four points, bitches!—to let me know about Michael Arrington’s TechCrunch entry on CoComment, which seeks to help uses with t…

I’m really loving the linkdumping via del.icio.us. It’s lightweight, and a few times, I’ve added links to it that I might have come here to put together a short paragraph about just because, well, del.icio.us does the heavy lifting …
February 9th, 2006 at 23:01[...] The previous post was the first on this site that was auto-generated by the del.icio.us “daily blog posting” feature. Geof has been doing this for a while, and I was already planning to do something like this on my own eventually, anyhow. But I hadn’t gotten a round tuit yet, and since I ran across a couple of links reminding me about this del.icio.us service yesterday, I decided to try it out. I’ve had a list of my most recent del.icio.us bookmarks in my sidebar for a long time now, but using the daily post feature will accomplish two positive things for me: it brings those bookmarks to my readers’ attention better, and it creates more frequent postings for my blog, even when I don’t have time to explicitly write something up.
