Tag: DEL.ICIO.US

Deep in the redesign of their online bookmarking service, del.icio.us has found time to build a Facebook application. The new application allows Facebook users to log into their del.icio.us accounts from the social network and display their bookmarks. With the bookmark integration users can choose to either show del.icio.us activity in their Facebook news feed, and/or show a del.icio.us summary ...

But if you've ever had trouble explaining to your friends, relatives, and coworkers why it makes more sense to share news/store bookmarks online, this video is for you. The folks at Common Craft have put together a series of videos explaining complex Web 2.0 using Web -1.0 tools (like ...

One of the problems with mobile web browsers is that they generally don't support the plugins and add-ons that work with their desktop counterparts. So while you can use sites like del.icio.us to store and share your bookmarks, it can be kind of a hassle to submit bookmarks using a program like Pocket Internet Explorer. Fortunately, one kind soul has taken pity on Windows Mobile users and ...

Lifehacker points us to a fantastic Greasemonkey script called Pagerization that will automatically extend pages downwards by appending the contents of the next page to the bottom. This is useful on sites like Google (Search, Image, News, Group, Video), Yahoo, Wikipedia, Hatena, YouTube, del.icio.us, Twitter, digg and Userscripts.org. We've been using the precursor, GoogleAutoPager, for a while ...

Flock, the Mozilla based web browser still under development in private beta, is getting a nice overhaul with its 0.9 release tomorrow. If you're not familiar with Flock, it was released in 2005 with much anticipation and hype as the social network browser. Flock was created to integrate various social networks into one browser platform so you could conceivably post items to your blog, update ...

It's fairly inarguable that Firefox needs to exist. Going back just a few years ago to when Mozilla introduced what would quickly become their flagship browser, much of the internet was in the equivalent of the digital dark ages. Netscape was struggling along after Internet Explorer had successfully derailed its efforts years ago, but even IE was suffering from a stagnating development process and ...

Our favorite online bookmarking tool, del.icio.us, has just announced the release of a hot new Firefox add-on.

When favicons first started to become popular, I have to admit that I didn't really "get" them. I couldn't see what the value was to having a dinky little icon in the address bar. Maybe I'm slow, but it also took me awhile to figure out that my browser could remember the favicon for my bookmarks or favorites that I'd visited, making it easier to pick them out from a long listing of links. Of ...

If you've ever had the good fortune of having one of your websites or blog posts dugg to the point of showing up on digg's homepage, you've enjoyed a huge traffic boost to your site. This is wonderful for web publishers, and I'm not going to lie and say that we don't care about it here at Download Squad; in fact, since the success of a given post is measured in large part by the traffic it drives ...

Gina over at Lifehacker has a wonderful Geek to Live post up today called Essential tools for the placeless office. I found the term "placeless office" to be interesting, and apparently Gina picked it up from our (Weblogs Inc's) very own Barb Dybwad. Basically, it's the virtual place that you work if you don't have a consistent office you go to every day, or maybe it's the virtual place you work ...

TechCrunch's Marshall Kirkpatrick is reporting that Facebook is dipping its toes into del.icio.us territory with a new social bookmarking feature. Given the recent controversies over the News Feed feature and Facebook's opening for all users, the company is currently only letting Stanford and Berkeley users in on a private beta. The new sharing feature lets Facebook users bookmark both outside ...

Finally, Yahoo admits that it's venerable Bookmark service is in need of an update and is about to unveil a new beta version.
