Earth: Mostly Harmless » del.icio.us http://www.earthmostlyharmless.net If blogs could talk, this one would say "crustacean".

I’ve been doing a bit of work using del.icio.us as a data provider so this post by Jason Kottke made me chuckle.

Besides, recursion is just cool.

del.icio.us will eat itself:

del.icio.us.

People who have bookmarked del.icio.us on del.icio.us.

People who have bookmarked the people who have bookmarked del.icio.us on del.icio.us.

People who have bookmarked the people who have bookmarked the people who have bookmarked del.icio.us on del.icio.us.

People who have bookmarked the people who have bookmarked the people who have bookmarked the people who have bookmarked the people who have bookmarked the people who have bookmarked the people who have bookmarked del.icio.us on del.icio.us.

Ed. note: At this point, the del.icio.us web server started singing “Daisy, Daisy” and soon after, Skynet achieved consciousness.

A run-down of what I’m currently coding for Spoken Word. I have had limited time to put toward Spoken Word stuff recently, but I hope this will change in the next few weeks.

  • A citations system: Based on Chris Putnam’s excellent bibutils will allow download of RIS, EndNote and BibTex versions of the appropriate reference for a Padova item.
  • A feature for Padova called Zeitgeist: this will embed the contents of del.icio.us URI info rss feeds (which essentially contain the posting history for that URI) reformatted and put into a nice AJAX drop-down box. This allows one so see how previous del.icio.us users have tagged and commented the item you’re looking at. Adding a callback to our database will allow us to maintain an informal zeitgeist of which items are most often bookmarked. Technorati support will eventually be forthcoming.
  • Much more robust and useful XML output in Padova. It will output pure Dublin Core; Fedora FoxML or Library of Congress MODS. FoXML support is pretty much done - I just need to test that records exported in Fedora actually then import successfully into Fedora. DC is a copy-and-paste job, but MODS will require a few mapping decisions.
