Delicious Links
Over the past few years, I've changed the focus of this blog to match my moods and interests. I've also grown my own sensibilities about what "personal publishing" should look and feel like and what I aim to do here.
In doing that, I've dropped many of the "cool links" I used to feature. There's plenty of blogs that do that sort of thing (boing boing and slashdot spring to mind), and I didn't want to simply repost their stuff with some added comments.
That said, I still find a handful of cool sites a month, and my bookmarks were getting really out of hand (and out of sync) between my work and home copies of Firefox.
http://del.icio.us came to the rescue, and provided me with a way to archive and access all my bookmarks in one place. It even integrates with firefox through a very unobtrusive plugin, so all I have to do is right click on any webpage to add it to my list of cool links. I also "tag" the links I put up there so it's easy to search for them later without remembering exactly what they were called.When I post a link, it gets added to both my "home" and then general tally of what people are looking at. When sites are getting noticed and bookmarked by a lot of people, they move quickly up the ranks at del.icio.us. Watching that feed through Oishii! has been fun, and I've found some amazing sites for CSS web design, acquiring software and media, and other fun stuff. Because the Oishii feed tracks sites that are being bookmarked now (and not just the most popular overall), the signal to noise ratio is just slightly better than random. Which is just about how I like it. These aren't the sites that everyone knows about yet, but damn some of them are neat.
Because del.icio.us provides RSS feeds of just about everything, it was easy for me to syndicate into my blog. It won't show up in the feed, so I may occasionally cross post some of these links here in the main story section, but if you go to http://www.glitchnyc.com and look on the right you'll see a new "del.icio.us" links section that features the 5 most recent sites I've bookmarked.
To give you a taste of what's in there, here's my latest 5.
