del.icio.us isn’t mature enough for me
I’ve been using del.icio.us for the past two weeks, and I like the system a lot. There are new plug-ins available which let you synchronize your bookmarks to Firefox and post with a right-click menu directly in the browser. The site is really coming along as a web platform.
However, I keep running into too many issues getting the links to display on my site. I’ve been posting links in an integrated format on my weblog for quite a while now, and there really isn’t a perfect way to get the links seamlessly integrated. Jeff Veen’s Perl approach is almost exactly what I’m looking for, but not quite. That method still clumps the links together by day. I also don’t want to deal with setting up cron jobs which tax the server unnecessarily.
The other main problem with del.icio.us is no import/export. I’m sure this is being worked on, but for me I can’t use the system until it’s made available. Until that day, I’m sticking with MT for all my publishing.
