Pinboard - antisocial bookmarking

* Default add bookmarks as private if desired
* Prepending a tag with a period makes it invisible to others
* Lightweight "to read" status for things you want to get to later
* Gmail-like star interface for tracking favorites
* Minimalist view (no tag chevrons!)
* Be the fastest bookmarking site around
* Spanish-language version
* Tag intersections | source : pinboard.in

Distribution of news information through social bookmarking: an examination of shared stories in Delicious

Results. Findings document the diverse nature of stories from both traditional and new media channels. Social media sources, primarily blogs, are growing as a major news source. Prominent traditional news media were not exclusively used, and the sheer volume of uncategorized pages suggests that online news seekers consider alternative Web pages encountered during casual navigation as news sources. Conclusions. What online news audiences consider to be news is becoming increasingly broad and complex with unclassified sources dominating tagged stories. New information sources appear to make up for deficient story topics in the mainstream media. | source : informationr.net

Delicious Founder: I Wish I Had Not Sold to Yahoo

He made his comments during a conversation on Hacker News (Hacker News). Joshua responded to a comment claiming Yahoo was cool with “Since when is Yahoo cool?” Then he described Yahoo as a “sausage factory” before making the following statement: I guess. I think the folks that pay Linus or whatever have done more for OS. Sun’s opensolaris, too. MySQL, etc too. Just by sheer weight of code. The problem is that the number of cool projects is pretty minimal. They’re in duck and cover mode. They’ll get pushed to trim employees further and further to stretch the revenues out. I wish I had not sold it to them. The cash and freedom do not even come close; I would rather work on a big, popular product. | source : mashable.com

noodlepie: Publishing an online newswire

The problem arrives when I try to publish from my mobile phone. Publish2 can grab items I choose to share in my Google Reader. What I want to be able to do, and can't, is automatically feed these items from Publish2 into delicious, and then automatically onto frontlineclub.com, and/or send them to Twitter. I also want to be able to edit the description, tags, and tweets too. If Publish2 can solve these last few hiccups, and I see they're working on an iPhone application, I'll be using it exclusively for publishing to the Frontline Club. | source : www.noodlepie.com
