SIMPY, SHADOWS and DEL.ICIO.US all do this wrong I think

Paul Kinlan

I'm curious why social bookmarking services like Simpy, Shadows, and del.icio.us prioritize a user's tags over a global view. When clicking a tag, I'd rather see globally relevant tagged pages than just those from a single user. A single user's tagging habits aren't as useful as seeing the broader community's perspective on a topic. Ideally, these services would offer a toggle between user-specific and global tag views.

I've updated DeliTag. Currently, it only supports Del.icio.us integration with Firefox. To enable broader compatibility, I'm actively seeking proxy scripts for SIMPY and SHADOWS.

DeliTag Now Does SIMPY and SHADOWS

I've updated DeliTag to support uploading tags to SIMPY and Shadows. SIMPY works great! I had some initial trouble creating a Shadows account due to CAPTCHA issues, but I eventually got an account confirmation email, even though I haven't successfully completed CAPTCHA verification yet.

RE: Del.icio.us A Like?

Paul Kinlan

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!
