… so does “del.icio.us”!
Against my better judgement, thought I’d try out one of those “social bookmarking” services - y’know, the ones where you upload all your fav bookmarks and share ‘em with other folk.
As there’s a Firefox plugin for del.icio.us (another Yahoo connection here - apparently it was bought out by Yahoo) seemed worthwhile to go with them, so I signed up and then uploaded all the bookmarks from my browser.
Ok, perhaps that was a bit of a silly way to do it, but there’s an option the site provides for doing that, and no attendant warnings that anything can go awry, or even friendly cautions as to what not to do.
Well, I’m now faced with the task of trawling through all of them, selecting those to share, deleting the rubbish ones, tidying up the tags, and generally making them presentable. In other words a fairly intensive bit of processing involved.
Get about two-thirds of the way through when the whole thing freezes on me an’ I’m presented with an error page that advises me either there’s been an error in the program or that I’ve not been “gentle” enough in my usage! In any event, I was locked out and, here I am some eight hours later, still locked out. Ho hum! I’m beginning to think that anything with a Yahoo connection might be worth avoiding.
