Using del.icio.us + Foxylicious as your bookmark management system

Feb 19, 2005 in Open Source Software

I’m toying with the idea of totally using delicious and Foxylicious (the Firefox plug-in) as my bookmark system.

Part of my problem is that I use multiple machines (laptop and desktop at work, couple desktops at home) and I like to have synchronized bookmarks at each.

I’ve been using delicious for awhile but just haven’t been in a good habit of assigning proper tags. I’ve fixed that issue and I think i’m ready for the j
ump.

To date I’ve been using the firefox bookmark synchronizer that works over ftp. It has worked well, but the added benefit of delicious is that I can also l
og into it over the web. Its trivial to add new items to it and as an asside you get the # of other references to it. Helps give you an idea regarding un
iqueness of content.

Anyways, I think I’ll make the switch. Anyone else done the same?
