DURL, a Search Tool for del.icio.us

Roland Piquepaille writes "I've been a strong advocate of the social bookmarking service named del.icio.us since it started (check here for an example). And almost every single day, a new tool appears and enhances the use of this service. This new one, DURL, written by Robin Millette, lets you type an URL and see if some other people already "delicious'ed it." And this is very efficient because it leads you to people who not only bookmarked the URL, but also assigned to it some pertinent keywords or tags, giving you new and fresh ideas. Services like Bloglines or Technorati among others certainly can return hundreds of links, so they are good for 'popularity contests.' But for building social communities and introducing you to sources you wouldn't have thought of, they don't compare to del.icio.us. This overview contains more comments, examples and screenshots."

I've been a strong advocate of the social bookmarking service named del.icio.us....

Nothing says "thanks for providing a great service" like a good post-holiday slashdotting. Note: the burning smell coming from the server room isn't fudge cooking.

Oh and I noticed they have a "most active" list of links, but no porn section???

After reading the headline

I thought it was a way for me to quickly compare all the mortgage offers I get in my email....

Roland Piquepaille has an online journal (I refuse to use the word "blog") located at www.primidi.com [primidi.com]. It is titled "Roland Piquepaille's Technology Trends". It consists almost entirely of content, both text and pictures, taken from reputable news websites and online technical journals.

Sweet I will have to go check out this website, thanks for the link! Oh wait maybe I should read the rest of your post first....

Smut

[superstick58]

I am shocked by the amazing lack of smut on this page. Not that I would want more myself. I am more curious on how this content stays off the lists. Maybe the site has not reached that crowd yet?

Were has all the pr0n gone?

I don't know about you, but I don't bookmark my smut. My wife might find out what a pervert I am.

Dear Sirs at del.icio.us,

You should try hostname v. It'll give you the version of the hostname utility. No really, you should try it!

Searching SlashDot on DURL

[mahesh_gharat]

I searched for http://slashdot.org on http://tools.waglo.com/durl
The result showed hundreds of entries for slashdot with different descriptions.
At the bottom the last entry description was like this: Community weblog - for coders and geeks. Has interesting reputation management system - "Karma". Despite crap in discussions very frequently points to interesting links.

I don't know why we have such image in other people's minds.

On the site 2004weblogawards.com, though slashdot was discussed for the weblog awards, we didn't made it.
Check the following URL and see what they are talking about: http://2004weblogawards.com/archives/000071.php
Check for the following comment: I would recommend Slashdot if they weren't so UNIX slanted, and full of idiots.

I think we (at SlashDot) should enhance our image infront of the world.

This leaves Roland Piquepaille with $647 each month

The Slashdot readership that can see through Roland Piquepaille's farce objects on the basis that he stands to make a generous amount of money

Wow, a whole $647 per month! What would I possibly do with that much money. I can't even dream that big!

Too much information!

I was wondering where the "hoagieslapper" nickname came from!
