Social bookmarking service Del.icio.us has one of the more popular Firefox Add-ons, but until recently it didn’t sync with your account and bring bookmarks and tags to the browser. A few months ago they quietly released a new version that basically takes over the Firefox bookmarking function, but it wasn’t syncing fast enough for power users.
Today they’ve updated the Add-On, and they’ve solved the speed issue. If you are a del.icio.us user, this will become your most-used Firefox Add-ons. If you aren’t one of the 2 million people using Del.icio.us yet, this may be the reason you start. Download the Add-on here.
My biggest complaint about Del.icio.us over the last couple of years has been that it is often too slow. That led me to switch to Bluedot.us, a worthy competitor. But Del.icio.us has made significant speed improvements recently, and this new Add-on is incredibly useful. I’m back at Del.icio.us.
Currently Del.icio.us only allows bookmarks to be public or private. I’m hoping they’ll soon allow users to share bookmarks with friends only, which is sort of in between.
Can’t use this. Too much porn in my Firefox bookmarks.
This is a nice upgrade. Was waiting for this.
I like your suggestion about the option to share bookmarks with friends. But just from a social / nw perspective, does that pave the way for ideas to stay restricted within small groups. Just a thought !!
even i like your suggestion. so i am sharing very good basic article on search engine optimization “SEO Simplified” by ConceptNeo India.

I finally found an option in the advanced settings of the delicious plugin to get back my old FF bookmarks.
Two things I dislike about delicious plugin:
- that you cannot select a setting so that your bookmarks are stored by default in the private section
- you cannot mass store bookmarks like in the FF panel

I’m actually not a fan of this one, as I prefer the del.icio.us 1.2 extension to manage my bookmarks. The integration is nice if you want/need it, but my uses it’s too much overhead and browser real-estate.
I used to use Flock with Favorites tied in to del.icio.us. Then I switched to Flock tied in to Shadows. Shadows has a little preview image of the site. Finally, I discovered stumbleupon (SU) and have relied on it exclusively for bookmark management. I use the SU toolbar regularly to email links to webpages to friends.
Anyone have thoughts on social bookmarking and SEO? I don’t see it, but I’m looking for other opinions.
Thanks!
- ummmm
- That guy who talks about - keeping bookmarks on 50 catagorized text docs ..
umm that is lame.. - honestly dude .. whoa! - RB
Cool.

Shadows is dead.
Rich Kahmer:
social bookmarks and SEOs — the love is not mutual, at least in case of Simpy, where anti-spammer mechanisms are aggressive and catch SEOs fairly well and often. Ask Jason Calacanis about SEOs.
It’s not integration of Del.icio.us until I can view my tag cloud in a side bar.
This new, supposedly improved, plug-in just took away my single-click icon to open the de.licio.us site, which is now a couple of clicks and a large mouse-move away. The “integration” is just awful, not a replacement for going to the site, not in the slightest.
Nice tool
are there some news and rss plugins ?
OK, all in favor of manually organized link text files instead of del.icio.us auto-bookmark-tagging-and-noting (simply select some descriptive text on the page before you bookmark it!), say “aye”. Now everyone who uses “foxmarks” which is almost but not quite the same thing, say “aye”. Lastly, everyone bashing Macs as slow who are comparing their latest Dell POS running windoze or *nix (maybe you missed the memo, but *nix is STILL fugly and hard to work with, dude) to some old Mac G4, say “aye”. Congratulations, you all FAIL at the Internet! Please turn in your wireless cards.
I liked this tool …. does it supports RSS ?
Yes this is a good tool…
searching in bookmarks at del.icio.us is still very slow, bluedot few times faster when searching, that was the reason why i switched to bluedot and that’s the reason to wait with switching back to del.icio.us
Anyone know if there’s a way to import MyWeb bookmarks into delicious wtih tags intact?
Blinklist (www.blinklist.com) s*its all over del.icio.us. I have no idea why del.icio.us is still so popular.
I just do it including copying manually much simpler there is also a very good program called linkstash that does the job very well.

Right on, I’m switching from Google Bookmarks now that it is integrated into Firefox. Your right about the speed increase, Delicious used to be a slug but is now quick.
I’ve been using the plugin for months without speed issues - what’s in the update?
What I want to be able to do and still don’t appear to be able to is filter the results by tag, i.e. type “seo”, and see only seo results, then add ” tools”, giving you “SEO tools”, and see only those bookmarks tagged with both seo and tools.
Is this possible?
Cheers
I haven’t used delicious very often, but I’ll try it now.
#75: Yes, it is. Try typing seo+tools (no spaces) and voila! It works.
Diigo is the way to go: http://www.diigo.com/
Lets you share in groups, stores archived copy, lets you comment, and will also store the bookmarks to del.icio.us for you automatically, just in case del.icio.us catches up.
Try also Quick Bookmarks: http://www.quickboomarks.com.
It is not a social tool, but it is better then others in personal bookmarks organization and as RSS feed aggregator.
Sorry, the correct link is: http://www.quickbookmarks.com
I’m looking for any and all information to be had in regard to deli.cio.us and related competitors and social bookmarking impact on search engine relevency and so on.
I might try this out, it might be a worthy replacement to google browser sync. I love how google browser sync mirrors not only my bookmarks between laptop and pc, but also the password etc.
I ‘ve used deli.cio.us recently since read your post … great info
love del.icio.us i have imported my bookmarks to blue dot.
