Search for tags del.icio.us

Filed under: General, tags, search

There are a few dedicated tools to search for del.icio.us tags:

Technorati tags
Tag Central
del.icio.us tag search

Some of the comments to this post demonstrated you can also use general search tools like Google and Blogdigger.

Google
allinurl: library site:del.icio.us
(only finds users who use the library tag…doesn’t show you a list of bookmarks…doesn’t work with some syntax like the underscore eg. LIS_km).

Blogdigger
site:del.icio.us subject:library
(results show a list of bookmarks with the specific tag)

Try the same search but also with the term ISBN appearing in the extended field or title field…here it is: site:del.icio.us subject:library isbn

Try multiple categories: site:del.icio.us subject:(library blogs rss)

Or you can do a plain old site search: site:del.icio.us library
(looks for the term “library” appearing in any of the del.icio.us fields - description, extended, title, url[?])

Search for a user, eg. site:del.icio.us author:johnt
(only 6 hits, hmmm…)

Found it unsual that a simple site search failed, eg. site:del.icio.us (without a search term).

Alternatively, this is the blogID for del.icio.us : blogID:27622
(not sure if this is meant to be similar to viewing the del.icio.us homepage).

I don’t think Blogdigger can handle syntax like, underscores, either.

Filed under: blogs, tools

Going back to my post the other day on having a tool list after every blog entry..check out this awesome tool called Tagophilia.

Does anyone know how to alter this code for Wordpress?

I might post this in the Blogsome (my blog host) forum.
