Attensa: del.icio.us clips
Attensa has released the latest version of their RSS reader, and this time round they have implemented a feature to clip your favourites posts which you can organise by tag.
The kick ass feature is that it syncronizes automatically with your del.icio.us bookmarks…I wonder if you can toggle the del.icio.us synchronization on or off.
So first you have Bloglines, that lets you save items in folders, then you have Newsgator Online that does the same, but these folders are RSS enabled…then you have Rojo that uses tags instead of folders (and you know what this means, all user accounts are merged into a folksonomy)…also see BlogBridge
…many other RSS readers organise clips by tags.
NOTE: Rojo, and BlogBridge also enable tagging of feeds (instead of folders)…so they also have a feed folksonomy…many new RSS readers are starting to organise feeds this way, I think the first was Feedmarker.
Rojo also can clip from within its RSS reader to del.icio.us, as can a Bloglines hack, also see BlogBridge link above…but for this to happen automatically is a great feature from Attensa.
Now the only issue I see with this is the difference between clipping to share, and clipping to save.
If you are clipping an item, to read later on, which then you will delete…then you wouldn’t want this added to your del.icio.us account.
I think there are three save scenarios:
1. Items you want to clip to del.icio.us
2. Items you clip to a folder to read later, but may not want to keep
3. Items you flag to read later (same as No. 2 but with more importance)

Yes! This is just the beginning for Tags at Attensa! In a future release you will be able to specify on a URL by URL (and potentially Tag by Tag) basis if it is shared globaly, with friends, or private.
