What I am Doing About AJAXTag

I'm changing the focus of AJAXTag. Instead of just giving users related information, I want to let readers explore and discover connections themselves. I'll create an interactive version of my blog, allowing users to generate an OPML file of related data. This is inspired by Memorandum, but focuses on user exploration within areas of interest. What are your thoughts?

Stay in the loop.

I'm trialing a newsletter. Join for monthly insights into web dev, Chrome, and the open web.

My Site and The Anti-Phishing Feature

My site, DeliTag, is being flagged as suspicious by IE7, likely due to the username and password fields for Delicious. I've created a privacy statement to address concerns about how this information is used. In short, the credentials are passed directly to Delicious without any further processing. The transmission is unsecured, mirroring Delicious's own security. The privacy statement at http://www.kinlan.co.uk/Deli/DeliPrivacy.htm offers more details. Please contact me with any questions.

Potential Upgrades to my Blog

I'm planning some exciting upgrades to my blog! Soon, each post will feature a dynamically generated section at the end, pulling in related content like searches, blogs, images, and Wikipedia articles, all based on the post's context. No caching for now, but I'm considering it for the future. You'll also be able to subscribe to an OPML file containing an outline of all this related information for each post.

RE: Del.icio.us A Like?

I'm searching for social bookmarking services similar to Del.icio.us for integration with my AJAX-based DeliTag. This would allow uploading tags to multiple services simultaneously. So far, I've found Shadows, Simpy, Del.icio.us, and BlinkList (though the latter seems to be down). Any other suggestions are welcome!

I am going to put DeliTag on the main page

I'm excited to announce that DeliTag will be featured on the main page to increase visibility and usage. It will also be available on Tagger.Kinlan.co.uk. As a reminder, DeliTag is an AJAX-based mashup of Yahoo and Del.icio.us, allowing users to generate and post tags to Del.icio.us based on page content.
