del.icio.us integration

Some time back, a colleague introduced me to del.icio.us. Ever since, I’ve been hooked. If you’ve been to the portal section of this website, you’ll see a list of links that I frequently use. This includes links to course home pages, libraries and commonly read websites (that can’t be aggregated.) This list is dynamically generated from specially tagged links on del.icio.us.

The biggest advantage for me is that I don’t have to mess around with the hypertext behind that page. I made the page static as these links don’t change that often. The page is generated by a 10 line script that I wrote in PHP using the MagpieRSS library.

There’s also an Emacs client for del.icio.us. I haven’t used it myself, but the list of features look very tempting.

I’m always looking for ideas on further integration between my website and del.icio.us, so if you think of something, drop me a line.
