IndieWeb Link Sharing | Max Böck - Frontend Web Developer
Max describes how he does bookmarking on his own site—he’s got a bookmarklet for sharing links, like I do. But he goes further with a smart use of the “share target” section in his web app manifest, as described by Aaron.
By the way, Max’s upcoming talk at the Web Clerks conference in Vienna sounds like it’s going to be unmissable!
Did I Make a Mistake Selling Del.icio.us to Yahoo?
For once, Betteridge’s law of headlines is refuted.
This is a fascinating insight into the heady days of 2005 when Yahoo was the cool company snapping up all the best products like Flickr, Upcoming, and Del.icio.us. It all goes downhill from there.

Infovore » A Year of Links
I really like what Tom has done here, printing out his bookmarks.
They capture a changing style of writing. They capture changing interests – you can almost catalogue projects by what I was linking to when.

Paul has some further thoughts on self-hosting bookmarks while trying to retain the social aspect.
3spots: del.icio.us as color tool
Did you know that you could use del.icio.us to bookmark colour palettes? Neither did I.

Ma.gnolia Blog: JSON, HTML, and Microformats. Oh, My!
Magnolia is providing microformat feeds: simple HTML documents marked up with xFolk, hReview or hAtom. It's basically a simple sort of API. Very nice.
