  • What about Del.icio.us?

    Posted on June 20, 2008 at 11:06 +0200 Tagged with ,

    Given the recent news of Joshua Schachter leaving Yahoo what future does del.icio.us really have? The last real life-sign (besides some plugins or module or various browsers) was in September last year when they showed a preview of the next generation engine built around Symfony and honestly: There wasn't anything to blow you away in this preview; no really new features, just a re-design.

  • Finally a Fire Eagle Invite

    Posted on June 16, 2008 at 23:38 +0200 Tagged with , ,

    I guess there is now a new wave of invites for Yahoo's location data dispatcher Fire Eagle out, because I finally received an invite tonight, 3 months after the first wave hit.

    For those of you who haven't heard yet of this service (which is not all that surprising considering how low the buzz around this service has been so far), Fire Eagle tries to offer a unified architecture for sharing your current location with web applications and web sites.

  • Delicious ... support?

    Posted on Oct. 5, 2007 at 11:02 +0200 Tagged with , ,

    I guess by now everyone who is interested in it has already seen the screenshots of the new del.icio.us Delicious interface posted a while ago on TechCrunch. Since I still consider the simplicity of Delicious' interface far superior to what Ma.gnolia has to offer, I at least wanted to keep both more or less synchronized. So I wrote once again a little script that adds all those bookmarks I made on Ma.gnolia during my absence from Delicious ... with the expected problems.

  • Yahoo! Pipes vs. timezones

    Posted on July 19, 2007 at 23:47 +0200 Tagged with , ,

    If you have taken a closer look at my lifestream, you might have noticed that the order of the items seems not to be completely correct. I'm currently trying to trace this problem down, but it looks like the culprit might be Yahoo! pipes and not the date-conversion I'm doing on my end.

  • zerokspot v5 progress report

    Posted on July 17, 2007 at 12:25 +0200 Tagged with , , , ,

    Work on the next iteration of this site is progressing quite well :) Thanks to the holidays I can finally invest a little bit more time into the site. In fact I already think about really pushing it out of the door this week.

  • Yahoo! customer care tearing down del.icio.us?

    Posted on Feb. 11, 2007 at 00:43 +0100 Tagged with , , ,

    Pfu, if Yahoo! customer care is really that useless as at appears to be in this story on shorty114.net, then I guess it's really just a matter of time before great projects like del.icio.us will lose a bunch of community support.

    The feature that you are describing is not available at this time in Yahoo! del.icio.us. Imported bookmarks currently have to be edited individually to make them public.

  • Yahoo!ification of Flickr continues

    Posted on Jan. 31, 2007 at 13:22 +0100 Tagged with ,

    The new login boxSo Flickr has finally announced a deadline for their login-migration to the Yahoo!-ID system: 31st of March. While this announcement has definitely caused quite a lot of rumble in the Flickr community I fail to see why. First of all, the moment they got acquired by Yahoo! it was clear that something like this would happen (not could).

  • Google acquires x, Yahoo acquires y, ...

    Posted on Oct. 12, 2006 at 23:37 +0200 Tagged with , ,

    Note: These are just my humble observations and opinions and are not really backed up by any kind of empirical analysis.

    It's strange. Two companies of the size of Yahoo and Google, and still two completely two different approaches on acquisitions. Remember when Yahoo bought Flickr in March 2005? Not that few people thought, the giant would squash the community photo site and imprint itself deeply into it. But what has happened so far? From what I can tell, all I see as a user is a different login system. Even less happened with the social bookmarking service del.icio.us which they acquired last December.

  • Disabling Trackback

    Posted on Oct. 10, 2006 at 12:44 +0200 Tagged with , , , , ,

    Just a small note: I've just disable trackback for now (and probably for some time) because I'm simply not motivated to moderate the about 200 spam posts I get every single day. As a replacement I will add hopefully sometime this week a small section where all the links pointing to a post or the whole site will be listed (based on search results on Technorati and probably also google and yahoo).
