Open Source Social Bookmarking Service

comforteagle writes "This past week I launched an open source social bookmarking competitor to del.icio.us - de.lirio.us. After running it for a while open to the public it appears to be running relatively bug free so this is the invitation to the Slashdot crowd. The code is entirely open and the content is cc licensed, so I'm sure it won't take too long for folks to cook up some additional tools aside from the blogging feature. For those not familiar the meme is social bookmarking, which is basically a service to share bookmarks publicly instead (or in addition to) only within your browser. There are lots of other additional benefits, but that's the gist of it. More details here and here."

Internet Explorer

Big deal, my copy of Internet Explorer has been sharing my bookmarks with everyone for years. It can even share my passswords, cookies and credit card numbers!

Yah SB!

Social bookmarking helps make a better super-nerd.

Aren't you supposed to pay for ads on this site...

Yeah, this is shameful, shameful behaviour.

Anti competitive or what?

[nmoog]

I launched an open source social bookmarking competitor to delicio.us

Nice work, directing people who want to assess your competition to a domain squatting service... I like yours heaps better.

He had them, but they got burned up by the sun.

First of all with the foxylicious plug in to firefox I can have access to my bookmarks anywhere.

Admit it: You just wanted to use the word "foxylicious" in a slashdot thread.

If I ever write a web browser, it's going to be called "boot".

Re:Confusing

[dr.badass]

Hmmm. The de.lirio.us website is almost identical to the del.icio.us website. I know imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and all, but you'll probably want to change your site design...


What's really amazing is that in the course of copying it, the few things they changed all managed to make it look worse. I guess that's how you tell it's open source.

I know this is a very common feeling, but I have a hard time understanding why. Could someone give some examples of bookmarks you would want to be private?

www.chickswithdic... Hey, wait a minute! No trick questions!

Actually, with crap, the shitty stuff floats to the top. The muck drops to the bottom. The rest is piss poor quality.

You see the problem... They are not available to Linux users.:-D

Re:What's the point?

[Soko]

What's needed is anti-social bookmarking - like a robot that goes through my links and eliminates the ones that aren't necessary.

Great idea - let's call it Bender.

<you> Nice page. *bookmarks*
<Bender> That page sucks. I'm not bookmarking it - I just finished cleaning out all those crappy human porn sites in your bookmarks - not a mechanical babe to be found in there at all. You can bite my XML 1.1 compliant ass.
<you> eep.

Penny Arcade

[BrookHarty]

Is it me, or was there a ton of links to Penny Arcade on that site?

Now, seeing the same URL multiple times, and a crappy search feature, more like, the lack of a search feature. I'm not understanding how this is of any use.

And to top it of, no porn URLS?! I dont need more personal blog urls.

No thanks.

Strange

[superultra]

Suddenly the .us domain name registration costs are going up.

Entirely?

[slashkitty]

"the code is entirely open" links to 404 not found. I guess it's not as open as they thought.
