del.icio.us is Joshua Schachter’s little bookmark manager that could (which began as muxway, his scrapbook for potential items to post to his popular Web culture collection, memepool). Josh sent this to the delicious-discuss list this afternoon:

After seeing my little project go from a small hobby to a large one and then consume all my waking hours, I’ve decided to quit my job and work on del.icio.us full time.

Update 3/30: Slashdot happens to be carrying an article today about del.irio.us, an open Perl implementation of del.icio.us. +5 Funny:

What’s really amazing is that in the course of copying it, the few things they changed all managed to make it look worse. I guess that’s how you tell it’s open source.

I’ve been using del.icio.us for several months now; in that time, my brain has readily adapted to ad-hoc tag-based classification of objects. I had originally intended for this version of dsandler.org to use only a couple of very broad categories (notebook, sketchbook, and scrapbook), but now that just seems quaint and ineffective.

So, I took action.

Salon writes about Flickr, del.icio.us, 43 Things, and the Force-like glue that binds them all together: a global namespace of user-defined tags.

What 43 Things does for personal goals, the bookmark-sharing site del.icio.us does for everything its users are interested in on the Net. Here, what people are looking at and saving from the Web becomes the basis for learning new things, and making connections with each other. “It’s like Friendster for knowledge as far as I’m concerned,” says Howard Rheingold. “I look to see who the other people are on del.icio.us who tag the same things that I think are important. Then, I can look and see what else they’ve tagged … And isn’t that part of the collective intelligence of the Web? You meet people who find things that you find interesting and useful — and that multiplies your ability to find things that are interesting and useful, and other people feed off of you.”
