Del itself ofers one at del.icio.us/help/buttons; it's a bookmarklet to both
see your Del bookmarks and to add bookmarks to your Del site. Quick
Online Tips has a bunch of alternate bookmarklets that add a little more
functionality at quickonlinetips.com/archives/2005/02/absolutely-delicious-
complete-tools-collection/.
here are Firefox extensions to make posting to del.icio.us easier at
addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=irefox&id=527
and polarhome.com:753/~pwlin05/delic123/. And if you get a little crazy
and post so many things to del.icio.us that you lose track of whether you've
already posted them or not, there's Familiar Taste, which is a Greasemonkey
extension that lets you check to see if you've already added an item to your
del.icio.us bookmarks. It's at blackperl.com/javascript/greasemonkey/t/.
If you're concerned about keeping your research and your URLs private, Del
may not be for you. It's really designed as a site that aggregates bookmarks
and interesting sites. If your overwhelming concern is keeping your book-
marks private, try Boz at sandbox.sourcelabs.com/boz/, which encrypts
your bookmarks on your browser.
he following are some other bookmark/tagging sites you might ind useful:
. MyBookmarks (mybookmarks.com) is free and gives you the option
to make bookmarks publicly available.
. Furl (furl.net), which is brought to you by LookSmart, lets you not
only save a link to a page but also a cache of a page. he window for
adding a link to your archive includes the option to rate the page as
well as mark it private and to assign to it one of several categories.
. Yahoo's Bookmarks (bookmarks.yahoo.com/conig/set_bookmark) is
good for people who already have a Yahoo account and don't want to do
more than manage and keep a set of bookmarks online. It's not heavy-
duty, doesn't ofer a lot of tagging and saving features like some of the
other utilities in this chapter, but it's a good basic bookmark manager,
especially if you're already using Yahoo Directory to start with.
. Simpy (simpy.com) looks similar to del.icio.us, but ofers a pull-down
menu to specify whether an entered bookmark is public or private.
You also have the option of sending a link to other people at the time
you're adding it to your directory of bookmarks. Simpy also allows
you to sync the bookmarks in its service with del.icio.us.
