del.icio.us Not Being Tasty
I wanted to switch from my old del.icio.us account to my new del.icio.us account and was very, very thankful for the (new-to-me) import feature. One problem though.
All my imported bookmarks are marked not shared. Dammit.
I haven’t been using del.icio.us that long, so it’s not like I have thousands upon thousands of links… but I have enough in there that I want public that editing each one individually to share it is a tremendous pain in my ass. Glancing through the comments on this post it seems that many people want the “share all” feature… but the del.icio.us developers have stated that they will not implement this feature.
I find that developers (myself included) get these little wild hairs up their butts about the funniest things: The creators of Yojimbo are vehemently against organizing information in the application using hierarchical folders. Not as big a pain point there as the tagging support more than makes up for it… but, dammit, sometimes I want to organize things as “Letters/Work” and “Letters/Personal”.
Anyway, I’ll probably release a little script soon that re-shares all one’s del.icio.us bookmarks.
