There was a distinct lack of personal touch in my previous entry, no? I’ve been playing around with del.icio.us more recently as I tried to reorganize the way I process information. More on that in the future.
And I found this nifty feature (which their naming committee took great pains to christen – it’s called a “thingy”). You can enable it by “Daily Blog Posting” under the Settings menu. Just feed it the name/pass for your blog and an address to XMLRPC to. Then every day at a time of your choosing it posts the links you’ve added that day for you.
There’s just one thing I don’t like about this feature—your blog password is displayed in plaintext in your list of thingies. Strange design decision there.
Another caveat of this feature is that it brings my del.icio.us habits into the spotlight. I can just imagine the Joneses whispering away:
“What a convoluted and inconsistent tagging methodology Tim has! Tsk tsk”
“Tim’s del.icio.us usage has dropped recently. Do you think he’s been cheating with ma.gnolia?”
