DeliciousSubmit allows you to submit a batch of URL’s to your del.icio.us account in one go.

Here’s how it works:

“The DeliciousSubmit program fetches each page to be submitted and extracts the HTML title and description. These become the title and extended description for the del.icio.us submission. The program examines the page text and generates tags based on the most frequently occurring words. Stop words such as ‘this’, ‘that’, ‘the’, ‘almost’,’about’, ‘of’, etc. are excluded. A maximum of 10 tags are selected.”

delicioso 1.0 does the same thing.

I’d like a tool that does the same thing but with the user applying the tags…so if you know the order of pages it is going to bookmark from a website, you can pre-define the tags of each page.

I usually bookmark my blog posts in del.icio.us, but I haven’t done so for the last 2 months, so a batch load would be handy.

[via What I Learned Today]

del.icio.us have implemented tagrolls…this allows you to generate some code to place your del.icio.us tag cloud on your blog sidebar or website.

This is great news for people who use del.icio.us to file their blog posts within tags, as their blog software may not offer categories…since tags are usually considered more specific than categories, you may use del.icio.us to tag your posts even if you do have blog categories.

This is a feature I was wanting for a while and posted recently about lacking this feature:

“The other problem is that you can’t export your del.icio.us tag cloud in order to put it in the sidebar of your blog, instead you would have to manually put a list of links of each tag, or just put a link pointing to your user account at del.icio.us, like “see tags for this blog here””

Another bookmark system that offers something similar is the Raw Sugar search box/directory.

Blauer Bote OPML-Reader enables you to import a local OPML file or OPML URL to read.
For this to work the OPML file has to have items that are RSS feeds, not just text or normal links.

When you submit, it returns the latest contents of all the feeds in the OPML file in separate display boxes, also displays the feed icon for easy subscribing.

If you import an OPML file that has just text or normal links choose “—” from the drop down menu instead of “rss”…although the results are shown in a running list only, not within an outline, otherwise try OPML search or OPMLsurfer.
